    Bobby,
    I have a used Wood and leather wheel for your car. It is overall good
condition, however there are some hairline crack in the wheel. You can't
feel them, but you can see them.  Let me know if you are interested. Make an
offer!

      Thanks for the info...the burgwerks web site had several things I have
been looking for.  and the steering wheel is $200. less than the only other
one I had found.  Can't seem to find any used ones anywhere.

          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

            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?

                      Regards

                      Cliff
