Today we bring you a Florida-based 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL500.


The car has new tires, new rear main seal, new pneumatic pump, new shift linkage, new infotainment console, new master battery, and more.

The paint is in good condition, except for some rock chips and the like, and the center console needs to be, in the seller's words, "recovered."

The mileage is 126,000 and the ask is $18,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • Jos65791744 Tim Healey’s chosen trade involves wordcraft, yet he misuses a simple word like “geopolitics.” Maybe he should stick to genuflecting to the PC crowd about Columbus Day and leave big boy topics like the effects of globalization on domestic markets to folks who talk gooder than he.
  • Akear I will forget about the Malibu when I have a new Camry in my driveway.
  • 1995 SC "Tariffs are paid by the customer, not the entities the tariffs are enacted against. Unless they are enacted by a politician of my chosen party. Then they function as intended and are good, sound policy."-A bunch of posters here
  • Akear Since EVs are such a small percent of the market do these tariff really mean anything?
  • Chiefmonkey It's amazing how stingy automakers have gotten with sedans. The lack of engine options, lack of customizability, lack of sedans period... it is absolutely miserable. I want to go back to 2009 and buy a brand new Camry LE V6 or something of that sort.
