#682 of 766 Light out indicator by raysl500 May 27, 2006 (8:03 pm)
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 Replies to this message: laxatl1 (May 31, 2006 9:01 am)

Replying to: shoes (Nov 24, 2003 10:44 am) I just bought a 1999 sl500 w/o the owners manual. What does the warning light that is an explantion point surrounding by little marks mean? It only comes on when the headlights are on so I figured it had something to do with the lights, but all lights are working

#688 of 766 speed shift issue with SL55 AMG by cosito1 Jun 19, 2006 (2:21 pm)
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.
#689 of 766 Need to decide - 500SL/320/300 by dispencer1 Jun 24, 2006 (5:12 pm)
I've asked this question before with no response. I need some advice. I'm looking for around a 1990-1995 SL. Which one would be the best to buy based on reliability? All of them seem to fall in the $12,000-18,000 price range for a good one with records, original paint (a must) and relatively low mileage. I don't care whether I have a 6 or 8. I understand there have been issues with the 5 speed automatics. This is the info I need. Help me out so I can start nailing down what to look for.

Replying to: dispencer1 (Jun 24, 2006 5:12 pm) I had a V6 and a V8 .There is a world of diference between the two . I beg you not to buy the V6 , it is very , very slow , also it starts on 2nd gear unless you hammer the throttle .You will be frustrated . The V8 on the other hand is much better and has better resale value Had no problems with the transmission . I hope this helps.

Replying to: cosito1 (Jun 25, 2006 3:43 am) Thanks very much for the advice. There are more 500SLs around anyway so I'll concentrate on those. I'm not worried about the lack of speed though. This will simply be a fun car for weekends and for detailing -not a daily driver. I have other cars for daily chores and road trips. I'm glad the 5 speed automatic was not a problem though.
