The MERCEDES-BENZ SL CLASS (2016-21) SL500 2DR ROADSTER 4.7 V8 455 GPF SS EU6 GRAND EDITION PREMIUM 9G-T+ AUTO is a two-seat luxury convertible, aimed at open-road enjoyment rather than everyday family duties. In the UK, it sits among prestigious grand touring roadsters: more special and powerful than a typical cabriolet, with a premium badge and striking presence for sunny weekend drives and longer journeys in comfort. Mycarcheck.com recorded 41 checks covering 23 distinct VINs, a modest snapshot. These cars averaged £54,800 in private-sale value and 15,000 miles on latest recorded readings; average annual mileage was 4,000. Checks showed under one previous keeper on average, but every car’s history still needs checking individually before purchase, as standard. Its V8, plush cabin and folding roof suit couples seeking relaxed, rapid touring rather than commuting. Against BMW 6 Series and Porsche 911 convertibles, the SL is known for comfort, strong performance and classic Mercedes style. Expect high running costs, and inspect each example carefully before making a purchase decision.
