Mercedes SL500 running costs

[[TW]Fox]

Hi guys,

Anyone in this section run a 2002-2008 SL500?

Trying to find out what sort of running costs these carry - I know 'lots' is probably the answer, but I'd love to quantify that.

Servicing/Discs/Pads/etc is the main area of concern. Are they reliable? Will third party warranty companies touch them? Whats the real world fuel consumption like?

Thanks!

What sort of driving is that?
