Great choice! Who wouldn’t want one?

The Mercedes SL600 Roadster is a turbocharged 5.5 liter, v12, 36 valve engine, 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds plant-you-firmly-in-your-seat rocket!

Though it may be slower (155mph) as compared to the Mercedes Benz McLaren (202mph), fact is how many times have you ever put the pedal all the way down to see how fast your car can go (and not getting written up for it)?

It may not be the McLaren Roadster but are you really willing to shell out another 370,000 clams for .6 seconds?

The MSRP is listed at 139,975 but with the market the way it is nowadays there’s a good chance you can get a better deal if not off the price but on the accessories and trimmings.

Leather seats, multi adjustable power seats for the driver and passenger and Tele Aid Vehicle Location System are just some of the standard goodies that come with it.
