2000 Mercedes-Benz SL500 purchase and experience
66 of 68 found this helpful The car is fun to drive and performs well but there are several electrical issues that are VERY expensive to get diagnosed and repaired. The Consumer Reports ratings of Mercedes for the last 7 years are accurate when they rate the cars at the bottom of reliability. The quality control for a car this expensive is abysmal and the reliability of the systems is atrocious. While the car is a pleasure to drive, it is a very expensive one to maintain and fix. Mercedes needs to stand behind the product however after the warranty runs out they just wring their hands with glee at the dealerships looking forward to the repair revenue they will get. There were 51 pages of service records for this car at the dealership for the first 78,000 miles which I couldn't get until I bought the car. There were well over 20 repairs when under warranty. In the first 3 weeks since purchasing the car I have spent over $2000 on fixes and I am not done yet and that was at an independent shop which charges $95 an hour. The Mercedes dealership charges $140 per hour.
I bought the car because I wanted a convertible with a removable hardtop and for the performance charastics. One has to do as much research as possible before purchasing. In this case the dealership wouldn't show me the maintenance records before I bought the car and only after when I gave them a signed request from the former owner. They claimed they has some sort of liability if they showed me them before I bought the car. In the end they only gave me the records when I complained to Mercedes USA headquarters.
These cars are very sophisticated and highly engineered and a delight to drive. Too bad Mercedes can get their quality control up to even average standards. If one wants to by a used recent years Mercedes it is very important to get the records prior to purchasing so an informed decision on purchasing a specific car can be made.
