Are you interested in purchasing a used sports car? The Mercedes SL500 is a solid choice. AutoUncle has 113 used Mercedes SL500s for sale in the UK gathered from various dealership websites and online marketplaces.
The oldest and cheapest Mercedes SL500 here on AutoUncle costs £4,995, and a newer model with a more advanced trim costs around £31,900.
The cost of a pre-owned Mercedes SL500 is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include manufacturing year, engine capacity and power, fuel economy, how far the car has already travelled as well as trim level.
For instance, a model that is younger with less miles on the odometer, or more luxurious models with more potent engines will generally fetch a higher price than a car from an older model year, with higher mileage and no optional extras.
The Mercedes SL500 comes in two different trim levels:
When comparing the prices of used Mercedes SL500, it is essential that you only compare with the deals of cars with a similar engine and equipment variant. If not, you may make a wrong conclusion on which car to acquire.
The Mercedes SL500 exclusively uses petrol as its fuel. There are currently one hundred and thirteen cars available at an average price of £12,316.
Keep your driving habits in mind when choosing which fuel type to purchase. Do your driving habits lean more towards city streets or open roads and motorways? What is the total distance you drive in a typical week?
For short trips, range is rarely a limitation, so electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol can be fine. For longer daily journeys, consider an electric car, especially if you have the option to charge at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Despite the rise of electric cars, diesel can still be useful for long journeys and lack of charging options. Bear in mind that diesel engines emitting high levels of pollution are not allowed in cities in a number of countries.
The Mercedes SL500 is only offered in the cabriolet body type in the UK. A cabrio or a convertible is a fantastic way to give the driving experience a new dimension. These days, most cabrio models have excellent hoods and weather gear, making them suitable for driving year-round. It’s worth noting that convertibles tend to be heavier than normal cars due to the lack of roof, as thickener is applied underneath the car to strengthen the chassis.
The Mercedes SL500 has some competitors from the same segment.
