How old? I was looking at the 2005 +/- SL models at the beginning of the year, and there is a ton of info on them online. Motor mounts, roof mechanism, trunk struts, etc. Lots of very expensive systems on them that you have to be sure about. I ended up getting a very different car, not because of the Mercedes issues but because my needs changed. Would still love an SL, but buy with great care, a PPI, and some research. I think MBWorld is the forum with the most activity, which will help. Also reading through the descriptions, work performed and comments on these on BaT helps develop an understanding and a feel for better sellers.
