The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class represents elegant open-air motoring for those seeking luxury sports car thrills. But how much does owning this German icon cost?
This in-depth guide covers Mercedes SL-Class pricing across all trims. Learn MSRPs, invoice prices, monthly payments, and typical deals to understand what to pay for both new and used versions of these elite convertibles.
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Generations and Timeline
Mercedes has sold the SL continuously across 7 generations since 1954:
W198 - 1954-1963 - The original "sport light" model and icon of 1950s auto styling.
W113 - 1963-1971 - Famously featured on 1960s TV like "I Dream of Jeannie."
R107 - 1971-1989 - A bestseller with over 237,000 sold during an 18-year run.
R129 - 1989-2002 - Revived the SL legend for the 1990s with V12 engines and retractable roof.
R230 - 2002-2011 - Controversial styling but packed the latest technology for the era.
R231 - 2012-2020 - Returned to more timeless styling with a focus on lightweight components.
R232 - 2022-Present - The latest generation with a digital-first interior and active aerodynamics.
This heritage gives the SL provenance among luxury roadsters. Its pricing reflects the premium status.
New Mercedes SL-Class MSRP - Base and Options
The all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class enters its 7th generation with a starting MSRP of $114,700 for the base SL 55 model.
It comes well-equipped with features like:
Twin turbo V8 engine
9-speed transmission
All-wheel drive
Leather upholstery
12.3" infotainment display
Active suspension
Stepping up to the SL 63 brings a racier twin-turbo V8 and more performance elements like:
Carbon fiber roof
Dynamic engine mounts
Nappa leather
AMG performance exhaust
This bumps MSRP to $166,500. The top SL 65 AMG with a V12 tops out around $240,000.
Major packages include:
Premium package - $6,400
Driver Assistance package - $3,000
Acoustic Comfort package - $1,500
With every option added, the range-topping SL can approach $300,000 MSRP.
Mercedes-Benz SL 450
Mercedes SL-Class Invoice Pricing
Invoice price represents the wholesale cost dealers pay to Mercedes-Benz for each model before adding any markup. The invoice provides insight into deal negotiation range.
Here are the 2023 SL-Class invoice prices across the lineup:
SL 55 - $105,000
SL 63 - $151,000
SL 65 AMG - $215,000
Expect dealers to sell anywhere between 2-10% above the dealer invoice price depending on demand, inventory, and incentives.
Mercedes-Benz SL 550
What Deals Can Buyers Expect on the SL-Class?
Due to its limited volume luxury status, buyers should not expect large discounts or rebates off MSRP for the SL. However, the following types of savings are possible with negotiation:
Invoice pricing - Paying 1-3% above invoice is achievable for a fair deal based on market supply.
Customer cash - Mercedes sometimes offers $1,000 - $3,000 customer cash on lower volume models.
Dealer incentives - Dealers have periodic volume-based bonus cash incentives from Mercedes too.
Lease specials - Attractive promotional lease offers appear occasionally but leasing is less common.
Realistically, expect to pay within 5-8% of the sticker price on an in-demand SL model. Seeking invoice pricing and any current incentives gives you leverage.
Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG
What Are the Monthly Payments on an SL?
At a 5% interest rate, here are the estimated monthly payments across SL trims:
SL 55 - $1,790 per month
SL 63 - $2,890 per month
SL 65 AMG - $4,400 per month
These assume a 72-month term with strong credit and 10% down payment. The SL runs $1,000+ more in monthly payments than an S-Class sedan.
Used Mercedes SL-Class Pricing
On the pre-owned market, pricing for recent model year SL-Class cars typically spans:
SL 55 - $85,000 - $95,000
SL 63 -
$110,000 - $130,000
SL 65 AMG - $150,000 - $190,000
Depreciation is steep on exotic Mercedes variants, so used prices for top models plummet. But the SL holds value better than many competing luxury marques.
Checking sites like Autotrader provides comparison pricing on local used inventory. Focus on verified models with service records.
FAQs
What is the destination charge on the 2023 SL-Class?
Mercedes adds a $1,150 destination and delivery charge to new SL models. This is standard across their lineup.
Which states have the highest SL ownership taxes?
Expect to pay the most annually for registering and insuring an SL-Class in states like Washington, Texas, Michigan, and Iowa due to luxury taxes.
How much does an extended warranty for the SL cost?
Mercedes offers several extended warranty terms. Expect around $5,000 for 3 years/75,000 miles of extra coverage. Extended warranties provide added peace of mind.
Does Mercedes offer discounts for military or student buyers?
Yes, Mercedes offers a $750 military incentive plus recent college grad discounts. However, the SL models have limited retail incentives since they are exclusive vehicles.
How much slower does an SL 55 depreciate versus an SL 65 AMG?
The exotic SL 65 AMG struggles more to retain value long-term. After 5 years an SL 55 may be worth 50% of MSRP versus just 35% for the top V12 model.
Key Takeaways on Mercedes-Benz SL Pricing
New 2023 SL base prices span from $115,000 to $240,000.
Light discounts off MSRP around invoice price are typical. Rebates are rare.
Used prices range from $85,000 for an SL 55 to $190,000 for an SL 65 AMG.
Extended warranties help limit repair risk but cost around $5,000.
Owning an exotic SL for 5+ years leads to steep depreciation.
The SL-Class commands a premium as an iconic luxury Mercedes. Cost-conscious buyers are better off with a gently used model. But for some, only the prestige of a new SL will do.

Le roadster « oldtimer » de Mercedes prend une direction plus sportive, mais est-ce la bonne ? Le coureur d'endurance "W194" de Mercedes a laissé une marque indélébile sur le sport automobile en 1952, remportant Le Mans, le Nürburgring Eifelrennen et la Carrera Panamericana du Mexique, et il a terminé deuxième sur les Mille Miglia. Il a été retiré après seulement une saison, mais tel était l'intérêt cela a fait que l'importateur américain de Mercedes Max Hoffman (qui s'avérera plus tard un point fondamental dans la genèse de tant de Porsche) a suggéré que Mercedes devrait faire une version de production. Ce fut le cas : en 1954, suivit la « W198 » 300 SL « Gullwing ». Six autres générations de ce qui allait devenir la Mercedes SL suivirent, la plus longue restant en production pendant 18 ans. Mais au fil de nombreuses années, la SL a été définie très différemment, passant de le bannissement du sport automobile à l'icône de luxe à moquette épaisse, légèrement flottante et à toit ouvrant. Mercedes dit qu'elle revient à ses racines. La nouvelle voiture de génération R232 est officiellement devenue une Mercedes-AMG SL. Conçue et développée exclusivement par le département de réglage d'usine de Mercedes, la voiture se présente uniquement sous des formes portant le badge AMG et présente plusieurs changements techniques visant non seulement à réduire le poids et à améliorer les performances, la maniabilité et les commentaires du conducteur, mais aussi à améliorer la convivialité quotidienne pour laquelle le SL est devenu si bien connu. Alors, la Mercedes SL chuchotante, sage et semblable à un tapis magique a-t-elle été complètement retirée et un héritier plus sportif de la légende a-t-il été installé à sa place ? Nous nous sommes tournés vers une Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4Matic+ pleine de graisse pour révéler de quoi est fait le nouveau venu.La gamme en un coup d'œilMODÈLESPOWERFROMSL 43 Premium375bhp£108,165SL 55 4Matic+ Premium Plus469bhp£147,715SL 63 4Matic+ Premium Plus577bhp£171,965Dévoilé au monde en automne 2021, la nouvelle Mercedes-AMG SL a été lancée sous seulement deux formes dérivées. Cela s'est depuis étendu à trois, et il va, d'ici peu, se diversifier à nouveau pour inclure un hybride rechargeable 63 SE Performance haut de gamme. Le modèle SL 43 d'entrée de gamme est cela dit le seul SL à propulsion arrière. Les autres sont tous à quatre roues motrices. D'une manière générale, la gamme est divisée en niveaux de finition Touring, Premium et Performance, les modèles Touring obtenant des garnitures extérieures classiques plus riches en chrome et des matériaux de cabine de couleur plus claire.
