SL 600 - Do They Still Make them?

Does Mercedes still have SL600 in the US?

They are on MBUSA.com, but I've never seen a dealer with one. They sometimes have the v12 engine in an AMG, but never the SL600 non-AMG.

Anyone know?

Just curious as a MB fan.

What rock are you living under?

Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach has one or two collecting dust in the front lot (& at 150K plus they will continue to collect), and House of Imports has one last I checked a week ago. Also ridiculously priced.

It could be that your local dealer does not have any inventory because the market for these has shrunk, as Akademiks implied.

I bet they could have one to you in a heartbeat if you were interested!
