Replying to: 97sl500 (Aug 12, 2005 6:33 pm) Man, haven't been on this site for a while. Yeah, the problem went away after changing oil 10w40, plugs and adding lucas gas treatment to clean up some of the carbon build up. That was over a year ago and hasn't knocked since. I use lucas periodically

#712 of 766 1984 Mercedes 500SL by brislance1 Nov 30, 2006 (2:08 pm)
My daughter and her husband live in Chicago and also have a home here in Arizona. They have an 84 500SL (Euro) with 75 thousand miles on it. It is black and in mint condition. The car has been maintained by a local independent and is perfect mechanically. They are the third owners.   They are thinking of selling the car as they drive it only once a month if that much, but have no idea of the real value of the car. If any of you have a hint of the dollar value, please let me know. I would buy it myself, but have no room at the inn or knowledge of the value of a gray market car.   Thanks.

Replying to: jmancini (Jun 28, 2006 8:13 pm) Please consider a 1999-2000 SL500 with the SL1 and SL2 package. This way you will get all of the latest upgrades for the R129 chassis. If you can find one with a Panoramic top well all the better. I bought a 2000 SL500 in July,07 with 20K miles for $33K. Not bad for a $95K car. The car has both the SL1 and SL2 packages and is triple black. R129 doors have a tendency to make noise so I had my INDY R&R the door strap/stays for $278.00. I love this car and it is fast, responsive, and has a great sound system by Bose. I have owned two other SL's for the last eleven years. Both were the R107 chassis. I purchased my 1988 and 1989 560SL with 30K miles and recently sold the 1989 with 80K miles after seven years.   Here is a list of the R129 optional package features.   SL1 Sport Package ($4,995)   AMG designed sculpted lower body aerodynamic enhancements, to include: Front apron with mesh air intake, two seperate tow hook covers Contoured rear apron Sculpted side skirts with Sport emblems Halogen projector-beam front foglamps 245/40ZR18 front and 275/35ZR18 rear, low profile high-performance tires 8.5Jx18" front and 9.5Jx18" rear, staggered-width AMG 5 spoke monoblock alloy wheels   Note: Suspension and steering calibrations are unchanged by the Sport Package.   SL2 Value Added Package ($1,820)   Xenon headlights w/ automatic level control w/o headlight washer/wiper Integrated trunk-mounted 6-disc CD changer Electrically heated seats

#715 of 766 1996 600 SL Question by norcalmike53 Mar 18, 2007 (10:09 pm)
Hi folks, I stumbled onto a 1996 600SL today; 1 owner, 32K miles, California car. Will sell for $22,000.00. The gentleman has 500K worth of cars (Viper, Jag XKE convertible, new Vette, classic Ranchero, boat, motorhome) in his garage! The car is flawless. Anything about the 1996 600SL that I should worry about? Good price? Anybody know how many 600SL were sold in the US that year? Thanks for any information.
#716 of 766 2008 SL550 by jpill Apr 02, 2007 (7:26 pm)
So much negative press about mechanical issues, electrical problems, reliability, ect. I even read a complaint about an odor of "cat piss" in a 2007 designo edition due to MB adhesive! Is this just MB bashing? Any thoughts?
#717 of 766 1982 SL idle problem by ahassibi May 31, 2007 (9:37 am)
When the engine warms up and you are in park the idle races up and down. Any suggestion as to the cause and how to repair? Is it the idle controller that is defective??
