All About Mercedes-Benz SL 600
While the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class dates back to as far back as 1954 and featured gullwing doors and a 1.9-liter 4-cylinder engine, the first SL 600 arrived from Mercedes-Benz in 1994. The model was discontinued following the 2010 model year.
Standard features included four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, rear fog lamps, and bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge (HID) headlights, plus LED brake lights, a retractable aluminum hardtop, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Tech included Bluetooth streaming, navigation, satellite radio, and a harman/kardon digital surround sound stereo system, while amenities ranged from power heated and ventilated front seats to dual-zone automatic climate control.
How Much Does a Used SL 600 Cost?
That varies widely by model year. Classic.com, for example, cites average price somewhere around $31,000, while other industry sources like CARFAX note anywhere from $11,000 for an older model to $70,000 or more for newer ones, like, say, a 2009 model.
Put simply, owning an SL 600 can be relatively inexpensive for a luxury car. That leaves open serious possibilities for cheap upgrades. Start with investment protection -- namely, custom seat covers, sunshades, and all-weather floor mats. Also, store the car under a car cover when you aren't driving it; it'll help it hold onto all that added value.
Does the SL 600 Have a V12 Engine?
Yes. In 1994, for example, the car had a 389-horsepower, 6.0-liter V12 engine that mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, plus rear-wheel drive. The 2006 model, for example, had a 5.5-liter V12 with twin turbochargers and a five-speed automatic transmission. A 2004 model with similar specs could get 493 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque.
If you want to improve any of these power ratings, do four things: add a turbocharger, install a cold air intake, put in a performance air filter, and mod the exhaust to a cat-back. A high-flow catalytic converter should keep you above board on regulations and laws.
