I found a great catalog of wood products for SL's.  Performance Products =
- 800-243-1220.  www.performanceproducts.com.  They have the wood map =
light assembly.

      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, 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

                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!

                        This Car was spotted in London, I thought it =
