Description
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL350 pairs classic grand-tourer elegance with modern engineering: the alloy-intensive R231 body makes the car noticeably lighter and more refined than its predecessors, while the 3.5-litre V6 delivers lively, smooth performance that's both enjoyable and practical for everyday driving. Reviewers praise the SL range for its unique blend of performance, comfort and technology — A beautifully executed blend of luxury, technology and performance which is why drivers value the SL as both a sporting convertible and a comfortable long-distance cruiser.
This particular example offers a generous service history comprises of 11 recorded services, most recently in April 2025 at 71,291 miles.
On the road the SL350's V6 is celebrated for being engaging without the complexity and running costs of a big V8. Top Gear highlighted the newer SL's weight reduction and efficiency gains — noting it "manages a generational weight loss of 140kg," which helps the V6 feel sprightlier and more composed than you might expect from a luxury convertible. That engineering pays off in real-world manners: the SL350 feels more nimble and responsive than the heavier, more GT-oriented variants while still offering effortless highway cruising.
Value and ownership practicality are big reasons to consider the SL350. Auto Express points out that "the SL350 is better value for money, cheaper to run and more fun through corners," making it a sensible choice for someone who wants the Mercedes-Benz badge, cutting-edge features and usable performance without the premiums and fuel use of larger engines.
This specific vehicle's condition and spec further underline its desirability. Finished in metallic black with a matching black leather interior and showing 78,713 miles, it's a handsome, understated package that's easy to live with. The hard-top convertible design gives the best of both worlds — coupe-like security and refinement with the drama of open-top driving when you want it. Independent reviewers and used-car guides call the R231 SL "a very special car" that strikes a rare balance between grand-touring comfort and roadster character — it's the sort of car that owners say "feels solid and silent" with the top up and wonderfully alive with the top down.
The on-board equipment on this example is practical and luxurious, improving both comfort and day-to-day usability. Notable fitted options include a Panoramic Vario Roof (factory fit), an electrically operated wind deflector, Mercedes' AIRSCARF neck-level heating system for comfortable top-down motoring in cooler weather, centre console cup holder, telephone pre-wiring with hands-free facility, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Together they create an experience that's relaxing for long motorway runs and entertaining on a twisty B-road, exactly the dual nature that guides and reviewers praise in this model.
