Speaking of seals, our 91 500SL hardtop leaks on both corners but the soft
top doesn't. Will a seal fix that and where can I order one?
 
Thanks
Ken

you will have to replace the seal at the top of the windshield. $90.00 from
me.

 Hi Guys 
 
 
I have a 1991 500SL R129, can anyone out there confirm whether a Panoramic
Glass Roof from a 1998 fit normally without any modifications?
 
Regards

Is there a place to purchase the wood steering wheel that was an option for
SLs?  I'd like to get one installed.  Any info would be appreciated.
 
Thank you
Adam

Thanks for the info, gents.  I'd really like to find a 99-2000 500 sport.
The black is really great, but I live in the desert and was constantly
washing my car.  Sold a '90 300SL, which was a little under-powered, but I
have a feeling I'm going to miss the 30 MPG on the highway...
Can you buy aftermarket add-ons, such as the optional wood steering wheel,
or a panorama top?
I see very few of these around.  E-bay sight unseen purchase makes me a
little nervous, fortunately I'm near LA where the market seems to be
plentiful and reasonable.
What would the gas mileage be like on a 500?  I know MBZ isn't great for
mileage.
Is there any advantage to Starmark warranties?  They only seem to extend the
warranty for a year.
Perfect car:  2000 500SL Silver, Panorama top, sport model...  price?
 
Thanks
Adam

Very good point Thor, it seems that the sport package is the way to go. I
pick up a 1999 this last June with 23,000 miles Black on Black (very dark
charcoal looks black). The gentleman I had purchased it for had got it for
his wife and her little dog, the dog passed and she was so despondent she
could no longer drive in the vehicle. It sat for close to a year with it
just being driven in and out of the garage, around the block. When I came
across the car he just had it serviced and was about to trade it in on a
newer s500. There were a few things that needed repair but it all fell under
the remaining factory warranty. The car is such a pleasure to drive. And yes
parts and repairs are not for the weak at heart.

Be sure to get the right color combo. A black on black will bring a stronger
resale than other colors. Also look towards the Sport. It will give you a
different front bumper and side skirts and also look for the Amg wheels
option. This is by far the nicest version that you can buy. But to find a
black on black sport with low miles with a warranty will be hard for $32k on
ebay. I just purchased a 1997 myself this summer with only 35k miles. This
car ran me 35K with a remainder of warranty. I looked at many SL's here in
Chicago that were 1999 + for the same price but they all were driven hard
and had some damage. Fixing items on a SL is very costly so when I found
this 1997 that lived down south in brand new condition I jumped on it!
Remember the cost to fix a SL in not a walk in the woods, it is a first
class airplane ticket!
 
Good Luck!

All years are good.  You can pick up 1999+ models with most options for
around $32K on Ebay all day long...

Clifton - See new story in "Auto Spy" search on Google.  Apparently there is
some trouble with the hard top, owners are inquiring about a soft top.
Yours is the first picture I've seen - send it to them, they've only been
talking about it!!
 
Adam
 
P.S.
Can anyone advise me on a SL500?  I'm looking for a later model, want to
spend a reasonable amount.  Are there any particular years to look out for
(or avoid)?  Any info would be appreciated.

This Car was spotted in London, I thought it looked strange because it had a
"soft top" I stopped my car got out and had a closer look and noticed that
inside was a R129, but on the outside was the new shape Mercedes, the
attention to detail on the exterior was excellent, only the interior and the
hard soft top gave it away, I have more photos of this car if any one would
like to see the let me know and I will email it to them,
 
What is It?

Cliff

                    stopped my car got out and had a closer look and noticed 
                    that inside was a R129, but on the outside was the new shape 
                    Mercedes, the attention to detail on the exterior was 
                    excellent, only the interior and the hard soft top gave it 
                    away, I have more photos of this car if any one would like
