        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!

            Thor

              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?
