hmm well if money was not an option then maybe, but if money was not an option why a 2000? the newer ones look sexier not boxy and such, infact the newer ones look similar to the sc.......... and not to mention u can get it with a bi-turbo v12

If I really only had those 2 cars to choose from and it was my daily driver, I'd take the SC, especially if it has nav/mk.lev.

If it was just a weekend FUN car, I'd take the Benz.

SC all the way,
the last Gen SL is very old school looking now, and the interior screams old benz... as much as I love them, they are no match to 05 SC430, far more tech stuff and reliable.
Or, spend 25 for a 02 SC, and buy a 98 SL for 15K?
