    I have tested a r231 and then bought an r129 SL280 with manual transmission and pano roof. This is the best and more enjoyable car I've ever had. The 231 model is great but this is MuCH better!

      I recently bought an R231 SL500. I love it.
      Apart from your manual gearbox, what do you prefer about your 129?

    The Mercedes M275 V12 is still the most powerful engine ever produced straight from the factory - as in not tuned by AMG or for the Maybach.
    It was used in the 07-09 R230 SL600 cars; the 07-13 W221 S600 cars and the 07-13 CL600 cars.
    The AMG tuned engines and cars usually receive the praise, but Mercedes itself it yet to put a more powerful engine in any of its non-joint venture vehicles.

    Both really nice, I have an R230 SL55 AMG and I love it to drive every day. I have changed the entertainment system with a new Android device who fits perfectly in. All I can say it, It's an enjoyable care inside and outside with an impressive sound.

    R129 would be the best SL to buy. It's quality is amazing and its price can be very low. Very limited problems as well past 1995.

    Great content.
    I have a S600 w221 and a Cl600 c215. You’re right about the warning. Beware of the maintenance cost. But great cars. I m thinking of swapping the CL for a SL600. The gremlins will stay but I love the SL. I’m really hesitant because I really enjoy the CL, it’s such a great car. The S600 w221 is in another category.

    Hi! I really enjoyed watching both parts of this SL mini serie. But I really hope you are going to make a part 3 about the Sl 231 and current model. I just bought a SL 350 (231) 2012 and I really want to hear your opinion about the last 2 SL models. Because your video's are really helpful and interesting. Anyway thanks for part 1&2 and let me know if there's going to be a part 3.

      Also, there are already some news/rumours about a new SL for 2022 also it has been seen on the road aswell so you could include that in a part 3.

      Thanks for watching! I am glad you enjoyed it. Generally, I wait until a series of car has come to an end before I do another one so once the new SL arrives then Part Three will be coming, for sure!

    The title of the video should rather be: A run through the SL models between 89 and 12 …. So which is the best to buy now??

    • @JAYREAD
      @JAYREAD 2 роки тому

      No! The aim is to give you the information to choose which one you think is best! How can any one version be, objectively, the best?

      @bikemike1118 2 роки тому +1

      @@JAYREAD there can be different aspects of being „the best“, sure. I read the title of your video as if you wanted to answer this question from your personal perspective. Instead you apparently ask your viewers about that …. misleading somehow. Well,….that depends on the perspective…again 😅

    Avoid any Mercedes from 1992 to 1996 as you'll have a nightmare finding a replacement for the biodegradable wiring harness (MB doesn't sell one for the SL600)

    Don't know why you spent much of this video covering models with a tiny, tiny production run, that practically no one on the planet will or even can buy. In terms of "What Is The Best Mercedes Benz SL to buy" most people looking at new or used will buy the large scale production models, why not cover them in more detail?

      SLK quite different car except for some of the engines; it's much more C-class derived.
