| I rode in a friend's 560SL the other day and thought it would be nice to get rid of my 2000 Mustang convertible and all the associated stuff and look for either a 560SL or a 1990 300SL with the newer body. Has anyone had any experience with the 300 ? I'd use the car as a "show" car -detailing it and just using it on weekends. It wouldn't be a daily driver. I put about 300 miles a year on the Mustang. Which would be more dependable -the 560 or the 300? I'd look for a garaged one from the original owner with service records -I don't buy "beaters". I haven't sat in a 300. I liked the 560 because it didn't have a cab forward design with the windshield slanting over your head or the sun visors hitting your forehead. How is the 300 windshield? Any help that can help me make up my mind would be greatly appreciated. | |
I was wondering when the SL is going to be totally redesigned, not just tweaked or freshened. Anybody know???

I have a 99 SL500. From time to time, I get the indicator light saying I have a light out. I have checked all the lights I can think of an can not find one bad. Any way to check why I am getting this light or which one is causing it? Raysl500

I just recently bought a 2006 SL 55 AMG. I know my question might be out of context to the topic at hand , however I will try just in case. The problem has to do with the manumatic -speed shifting . This car has 5 speed and 3 settings , comfort , sport , and ,manual . the manual can be done by pressing buttons on the back of the steering wheel or by tipping the shifter to the left or right. This trans, in manual is crazy , say you want to take a 2nd gear turn, you come on 5 hit the downshift button 3 times (spaced) and the software which has a mind of its own chooses 1st gear instead. It is certainly not a sequential shifter . I am wondering if any of you has experienced the same with any Mercedes with manumatic. |
