When I was recently trying to choose between a 500 or 600, my local M-B
workshop chief said they had lots of problems with the cam cover of the 300
leaking and as a 600 is just two 300’s with, I understand, two of everything
to go wrong, the 600 is ‘double trouble’. I am very happy with my 1990 500
with 80K miles.

Thats what my service people tell me too. They say it takes thousands of
dollars a year just to keep a 600 running.
Wonder why??? I have a 95 SL 500 and was thinking about getting a 600, but
changed my mind.

I'VE GOT A SL 500 AND LOVE IT. BUT EVEN MY PARTS SUPPLIER HAS STEERED ME
AWAY FROM THE 600. ESPECIALLY IF YOU PLAN ON ACTUALLY DRIVING THE THING!
