[R129 SL] RE: 2003 SL500

[Jan Kuylaars]

If I was a rich man, deadle deadle deadle deadle deadle deadle dom; 
I bought myself a SL 55 AMG 2005 , deadle deadle dom.
I did not care about the costs, and had a lot fun, deadle deadle dom.

So nobody can advice what someone else should do.
And if you give the car good maintenance , what's the problem.

2003 SL500 is the new R230 body style.  Go for it.  They are good cars
and 
the modular M113 V8, while not as track-proven as the excellent M119,
has 
been in existance since 1999.
