Subject: Re: [R129 SL] [Ferrari] (NFC) 1993-01 Mercedes SL600 Any feedback
from owners?

there are plenty of people on this site that like to talk rumour and 
innuendo. Eg "a friend of a friend told me he heard the SL600 cost $$$ to maintain" 
etc....best to solicit opinions from people that actually own them. I have a 
1996 SL600 that I've owned for 3 yrs. I do the oil changes myself (simple) 
cleaned the plugs and air filters (also simple) and have done a couple of small 
repairs that were age related (like replacing the plastic rear window on the 
softtop). The car itself always runs perfectly, in 3 years I have not had a single 
problem with it that I couldn't fix myself (ie. very minor stuff). Any other 
Owners like to comment?
