It’s fair to say that new car prices have got a little out of hand over the past several years, and the 2025 Mercedes-Benz SL 43 is a good example. The SL 43 is the entry-level version of Mercedes’ drop-top cruiser, and comes with a small-but-mighty hybrid-assisted 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, as well as all the usual equipment that you’d expect on a modern car. The trouble is, it’ll set you back $109,000. For a vehicle with a four-pot, that is a truly frightening amount of cash.
