#636 of 766 Re: 2004 SL500 Feedback Request [BSS] by carnut100 Aug 04, 2005 (6:14 am)
Replying to: BSS (Aug 02, 2005 11:28 am) I have a 2004 SL500. Bought it new 5/6/04. It is my everyday driver and now has 11000 miles on it. It has never been to the shop. My first service is today and they picked it up this morning at my home. The 2004 has free maintenance .... the 2005 does not ... worth about $2k.   The car has been perfect. The hardtop makes it good in the winter although I drive my other car in the snow.   Get about 15 to 16 in town and 24 on a trip.   They talk about quality problems, but my sl500 has not even had a blip. Love the sport car feeling with the heavier ride.

Replying to: symplered (Jul 07, 2005 11:47 am) Did you ever get it sorted out? I have just bought a 97 SL500 with the same problem. The knock goes away when the engine has warmed up. And sometimes it dosn't knock at all. Replies to this message: symplered (Nov 02, 2006 1:31 pm)

Not sure how to post a new message, so here goes. 1990 sl300, 122k miles. Been really great. All of a sudden, second gear acting funny. Have to rev up the engine to engage 2nd on downshifts. Kind of feels like it may be slipping on upshifts. 2nd gear only. Anyone have an answer? One guy told me that each gear is independently adjustable. ??? thanks Replies to this message: merc1 (Aug 15, 2005 12:28 am) cdnsl500 (Nov 15, 2005 8:09 pm)

Replying to: ozmt (Aug 13, 2005 5:08 pm) I would say that in simple terms that the tranny is starting to go a 15 year old car. That explanation doesn't make any sense and/or is bogus.   M

Replying to: 2000slk (Jun 26, 2005 11:13 am) I had the same problem and have not figured out what that light is either! Replies to this message: slkwannabe (Aug 16, 2005 9:28 am)

Replying to: slkwannabe (Aug 16, 2005 9:25 am) I will check out the headlight/breaklight possibility.

My ??s should we sell the 560sl= 1987(135k,miles)red/tan/good cond. for-13k-17k and buy 1977( the guy has had it for about 20 yrs and serv. reg.) 450sl=($5000) (96k) silver/ as good cond. as our 1987, how would you compare the 77-450sl to the 87-560sl, i do know the 450eng are powerful and long runners, what would be the smart thing to do with the diff. in money and still have the same style car? Thanks for your help, Jack//pvjack
#645 of 766 registering collectible by sjconnect Aug 21, 2005 (9:49 am)
I am trying to figure out how to register my 79-450SL as a collectible. I also want to know if there are special things to consider when registering a classic car. Thanks, Steven//sjconnect
