1990 Mercedes-Benz 500-Class Review
Price Estimate: $8,747 - $13,221

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
Goodness gracious, the roadsters sure look different than last year. Appealing to a more youthful audience, Mercedes ditched the long, sedate look in favor of an aerodynamic, almost racy sports car. Available with a 320-horsepower V8, this car is the most powerful in its class. The convertible top is entirely automatic and a pop-up roll bar will protect occupants in the event of a roll-over accident.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 500-Class 500SL 2dr Convertible
The best car back in 1990. Better quality and more reliable then the 2008 model. Right now it has 200k miles and it still runs like a champ.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 500-Class 500SL 2dr Convertible
A Tip top car, with a little buyers regret, did I engage the driver’s cockpit. It took off like a jet and cornered as if it were on rails. That pesky buyers regret soon turned into smiles of ecstasy
