Good news is R230 SL's are holding their value well now and even appreciating. The glass roof roadster experience is extinct at Mercedes which drives up prices of yours. Particularly since its a 2011 with maximum capabilities not found in R231's.
@@MortgageMike305 yeah, you got a 2011 with my exact same mileage for that price??? haha, you have 10k more to go, I paid 40k for a 11 in pristine shape with 40k miles, how abused was yours?
I bought my 09 sl550 couple months ago for my 21st birthday. The car is very affordable knowing how to work on your own car. I can fix the the roof, suspension, do my own oil changes etc. every person buying any nice car do their on maintenance then your fine. And I drive mine above 90 almost every day! Sometimes at the 155 limiter lol!!
I have the same car. Sans sun roof option. Bought in 2019 with 52k miles for $29500 in Houston. Haven't had any issues until lately. It's now 72k miles on 11/22. Where are you located? Lol... your a realtor and I'm a mortgage broker.
You will spend $5-7000 grand a year on this car if you put miles on it. Basically, Mercedes will be a better service men to work on it. The top or the suspension the frame and windows is only a Mercedes project.
It doesn't seem like you watched the entire video. I've been in the automotive industry for 25+ years, I don't intend to keep this car, it's FOR SALE! I have technicians that can work on it at a fraction of what Mercedes charges.
