Buying Advice
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Convertible is an exceptionally well-made roadster offered in a single trim. However, some options are offered, and we recommend adding the optional front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, and a glass moonroof to the car which bumps up the price tag by $5,490.
