hi, I find the Mercedes SL horny, but I can unfortunately not afford it. I just wanted to ask how you bought your SL and how expensive it was. Case study: My SL cost 100 000 €, paid 50 000 € and the rest on financing.

Hello girls, I’m looking for a well-preserved 107ner. By browsing the forum I’ve already found out that a lot has been improved since year 85. That’s why it’s supposed to be one of them, God willing. I’ve already heard about this club www.107sl-club.de/ and wanted to ask if it would be interesting to join before a purchase. Thank you already in advance, Stefan

Hello, after a three-hour drive through really bleak rain weather, I had to get angry that my jacket was neatly wet in the trunk. Until I then checked the compartment under the normal trunk and had to find out that there was 2 centimeters deep water – there was my mood something demoralized, I don’t know about my R230. I lit it all with a flashlight as well and also felt with my hand, whether somewhere noticeable Wass Unfortunately, I couldn’t really identify anything, despite the amount of H2O I found. Does anyone have a tip for me, where the liquid could probably have run in? My first tip would have been the sealing edge from the trunk, but with the amount of water I would have expected to find clearer traces. Are there other points that would have been worth checking? The car must anyway in the next time into the Inspek However, the (in itself very good) workshop is certainly grateful for any help with such a case.

Hello, I am Willem Harterink from Neuenhaus in Lower Saxony. I bought a right-hand handlebar from GB in Holland. It is a Mercedes SL 500 from 2002..type R230. What are the German TUV standards so that I get a German license plate? And which EURO standard should he get ? 3 or 4 ? Thank you for comment Willem

Moin Moin Liebe Motor-Talker Simple and short question without getting far For 10k you get a reasonable R129 ? I don’t mean a collector’s condition, no specimen what should be in the museum. A well-preserved car with which you can have a few more years of fun.

Hello together! I always found the SL great, especially the high-capacity variants with/from 5l… Now I actually play with the idea to get one in the relatively near future… The question is how the models differ from each other in subjective driving feeling, driving performance, reliability, sound etc.? Just with the friendly around the corner driving both rehearsals is unfortunately not particularly interesting to me, with what I expect from the “maintenance effort” / susceptibility The 65 was only available in one generation, so you can only compare it with the others in general. But if all AMG variants are very vulnerable, I could possibly also be happy with the idea of the “small” 500 (there is obviously the variant with 306 hp most reliable, or?), although about 40 or 50 % less engine power is of course already an announcement. .. Is there a purchase advice thread or forum with this topic somewhere?

Hello Will get me for my 55 AMG R230 other rims. Back 11×20 ET68, Front 9.5×19 ET 50, Tyre size 295/30 and 265/35 Maybe someone knows if the assembly is possible without larger work (turning the wings?).

The story: I buy a car near Stuttgart and pay for it. I agree with the seller that he sends the (approved for Japan) headlights to a specialist in Hamburg to prepare and switch to asymmetic light. Both headlights are processed by the company on my bill and sent back to Stuttgart in two packages because of the size. But: During the mail way with the yellow giant back In the meantime, the sender has been able to place an alert at the post office (after 8 days), fortunately both parcels were insured with 250€ each. The paid vehicle is now disassembled in Stuttgart and cannot be assembled and delivered to me. Who has claims against whom here? What about the lost time and the costs that arise because of this? What if, who now replaces both spotlights? Is it possible that someone can consider it more legal than me … Many greetings Thomas PS: Unfortunately, I also hear a Mercedes employee that spare parts are often stolen when they are shipped, if the contents can be identified via the packaging. -That’s gone, he said.

Hello! I have been told that you can bridge the 250 km / h suspension by approaching the 250 km / h mark then you “lop” the accelerator pedal. Is that possible!

Hello, we have at our SLK left and right at the inner side claddings of the trunk water running tracks. And today my friend said, that probably a small puddle has formed. One does not really see the cause, but I wanted to ask if other 170 he drivers also have that. Can not imagine that it comes by opening the tailgate. Thank you already in advance.
