Buying a used Mercedes SL - which model is best for comfort?
I am 66 years old and have decided to sell my Porsche Boxster S for a used Mercedes-Benz SL320 or SL350 for a more comfortable drive. Which of these would you recommend from a reliability, running cost and depreciation point of view? I'm looking to spend around £16,000.

Try to get a 2006 or 2007 Mercedes SL350 or SL500. They were much improved for the 2006 model year. Later, they got an awful facelift. £16,000 should get you a 2006 350SL and might get you an SL500.

Looks good and make you look rich. 2006 models with increased power vastly better cars. 388hp 500SL plenty fast enough and makes a nice noise.
