Yes, it is from a MB dealership.
I am also concerned about the maintenance cost for a SL500 with this kind of mileage - do you have any idea?

Ask for full history and pay close attention to ABC related issues. Does it come with warranty? My SL55 has 74K right now and I replaced the ABC pump recently and will most likely have to replace at least one strut and possibly a valve block in the near future. All of that is costly without a warranty and is very common to break. A pump/strut/valve block is around $1500 each just in parts to give you an idea how much parts cost. Add labor on top of that and you just had $6k trip to a repair shop.

Don't pull the trigger
A car that old with 76,000 miles is going to be difficult to get an extended warranty for. I understand that after 75K miles, many extended warranty companies won't touch a car. Get one with lower miles! These cars are too expensive to own w/out a warranty.
