The cheapest Mercedes SL420 that is available here on AutoUncle costs £14,995, while the most expensive model is priced at £49,750.

There are five main parameters which play a crucial role in what a used Mercedes SL420 costs: the year of manufacturing, engine capacity and performance, the car's fuel economy, how much the car's odometer reads together with equipment.

For instance, a car that is newer and has fewer miles on the clock will typically command a higher price. In the same vein, models at the higher end, replete with luxurious features or more robust engines, generally come with a more substantial price tag than, for example, an older car without special equipment and with many kilometres behind it.

Is the Mercedes SL420 available in different fuel variants?

The leading fuel choice for the Mercedes SL420 is petrol.

Your driving behavior is an important aspect to consider when selecting a fuel type. What is the usual distance you cover in a week with your car? Do you predominantly undertake short trips or longer hauls?

Electric, plug-in hybrid and petrol work well for short trips. If you drive long distances on a daily basis, an electric car is good - especially if you can charge at home or at work. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. In a few cases with long journeys and limited charging infrastructure, diesel can be a practical solution. Note that in some countries, diesel engines with high emissions are no longer allowed to enter some cities.

Are there more body variants of Mercedes SL420?

The Mercedes SL420 is only available in the cabriolet body type in the UK. If you want to add a new dimension to the driving experiences, then a cabrio or a convertible is the perfect solution. Most cabrio models can be driven year-round these days, thanks to their excellent hoods and weather gear. To strengthen the chassis to make up for the lack of roof, thickener is applied underneath the car, which means that convertibles are often heavier than normal cars.
