Hello dear SL friends, z Zt I live in the USA again and have taken a SL500 R230 from my last US stay with me which I left in Germany and also drive when we are on visit to Germany. Now I want to get a SL here in USA and have fallen in love with the SL R129 in the course of time. I have also found a few beautiful specimens, all from year 2000 onwards. However, here are mainly the SL500 or SL600ers at the start. Since I have no Erf I now turn to you to give me a few tips and suggestions and what I should pay attention to. Have you heard what the ABC system counts as a weak point for the R230. Is this true? and what motorization is recommended? V8 or V12 or should I look around for an extremely rare V6? (but these are only to be found here until 1995 or older) Have two objects attached to my desire For your tips I am very grateful? Best thanks to you and all time Good trip Alex
