[MBZ] SL500

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Sold the SL500 today to an Armenian guy I was sure was a flipper. Turns out he 
was buying it for his kid.

He beat on me relentlessly to try and get me down, but I walked away on him. A 
couple of minutes later he came back and gave me my price.

I felt like I had just finished my first day of Marine boot camp when I was 
done. This guy was relentless.

I ended up driving the car across Tampa to his house. I bit of an 
inconvenience, but allowed us to stop for dinner at a favorite German 
restaurant.

Re: [MBZ] SL500 Sounding Bad*ss

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

That and the pipe had to come out.  There was no possible way they could have 
gotten all the way around the cat to weld the seam with it in frame.

I’m still ahead of the game as far as I’m concerned.  As much as I don’t care 
for that car, it’s been one of the most trouble free MBs I’ve ever owned.

Re: [MBZ] SL500 Sounding Bad*ss

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

A number of years ago now, I had an 86 Chevy Suburban. The exhaust pipe 
would crack on the Y pipe where the 2 parts joined  and I would drop 
into the local Minute Muffler shop. They would put it on the hoist and 
weld it in place and charge me $8.
It would last a year or two and then I would get them to do it again. A 
bargain then and now.

It’s a local shop that’s second generation.  They do custom muffler work as 
well as general repairs.

The chain places can be so hit or miss.  I know these guys and they’re very 
well reviewed in Angie’s List, Yelp and Google, too.  They did a really nice 
custom exhaust for a W140 owner I know in the area.

[MBZ] SL500 Sounding Bad*ss

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

SL500 has gotten worse.  I was planning on taking the pipe off this weekend and 
heading over to the local muffler shop to have it welded, but it’s gotten too 
loud to be drivable for the spouse.

Dropped it off this morning at the shop.  Waiting for them to open and give me 
a call.  I soaked all the fasteners with Kroil last weekend, which should help. 
 I’m hoping the can just drop the pipe and weld it up.  The replacement is like 
$300 from MB my cost.

Re: [MBZ] SL500?

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

We put a hitch on the X5, for a bike rack.  Just the mechanical part, the
electrical part was NLA, and the aftermarket Scotch-lock things are an
abomination.  Did see one used kit for sale, $600 for the whole banana.
But we already have a sufficiently usable mechanical portion, so too rich
for my blood.  Yes, the onboard computers sense the presence of the trailer
plug, and apparently modify the programming of the car in some way, besides
converting the light signals.  Good luck getting actual details on that.
We did use the X5 to tow a float trailer in a parade, figured we could do
without the lights for that rather than cough up $600...

er that I wonder what the plan will be -- find a nasty 
Bluetec that has been abused and park it out back?  Or a wreck for an 
engine/trans/electronics/etc.? I'm not seeing buying another newer vehicle at 
that point but who knows.  I'll keep my old trucks and Benzes running, I guess 
Mama will have to decide what she wants to do with her ride.

These are pressing issues!

Which is why i saw all those AMG and other S cars at the auto auction with blown out 
suspension go "no sale" until the seller finally figgered out the thing was an 
albatross, and let it go for 2-15 bennies.  A lot of the sellers thought it was worth 30 
or 40K, and it might have brought that IF they spent the 10 to 30K at the stealer...

My brother did the smartest thing he could and got the best advice from a 
friend of a friend that is a service manager at an MB dealership. He said:

"never buy these cars unless you have very deep pockets." The Active Body 
Control suspension is a beast to fix. The pump is $3,500 and each wheel is $2,000!

So, I think he is done with that!

Re: [MBZ] SL500?

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

When Poos bought my buddy's S430 he made mention of the air suspension 
so I looked at some of the aftermarket/reman parts and they weren't that 
pricey (in the $100s not $1000s as below) so I thought that was not 
*too* bad given it would be a newer car, etc.  And those are getting to 
where there will be some at the knackers.


But the issue that concerns me about all the new cars, not just Benzes 
(maybe more so for Benzes as getting hold of knacker parts might be 
harder as time goes on given lower sales volumes) is all the 
electronics.  I'm sure that not only is there a mechanical system 
(air/hyd pumps and pistons and valves and solenoids and such) but some 
computer(s) somewhere that is running the whole thing.  So maybe the 
Kleb approach would be best -- buy 2 or 3 of the beasts from the 
auctions and have a source of bits to keep things running.


On the ML we bought the 6yr/100kmi ext warranty, which will probably 
last another 3 or 4 years, after that I wonder what the plan will be -- 
find a nasty Bluetec that has been abused and park it out back?  Or a 
wreck for an engine/trans/electronics/etc.? I'm not seeing buying 
another newer vehicle at that point but who knows.  I'll keep my old 
trucks and Benzes running, I guess Mama will have to decide what she 
wants to do with her ride.


These are pressing issues!

Re: [MBZ] SL500?

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

A buddy of mine has one that is maybe newer 2010, 2011?  Same basic car 
I guess.  The main thing about all the newer Benzes is the electronics, 
if all the computers and actuators and bits crap out you're looking at 
big dineros.  Low mileage though, he might want to enquire on an 
extended warranty, the one on the ML goes to 100kmi and was not that 
expensive.  I think it would be maybe 10% of the total cost on the car, 
probably a reasonable expenditure.

Derails only existence on these lists is to stir up trouble and forward 
information off the list to another list.

He is wrong because there was not such a thing?  How about that.  Or, 
maybe he is wrong because he is a retard, that words too.

I'm with Kaleb on this one - per John Olson's book The SL Experience, 
The 500SL (as well as the 280SL, 300SL, and 420SL) was never officially 
imported to the US.  The 560SL was a US-only model.  The only 107 SLs 
imported to the US through official channels were the 350 (4.5L), 380, 
450, and 560.


There was nothing truly special about the 500SL as it was the about 
the 500SLC and 450SLC 5.0, both of which were rally homologation cars.

[MBZ] SL500 for sale -- value?

[LT Don]

1979 SL500, 150,000 miles. Interior is really good. No rust, dings, dents,
etc. Guy is asking $6500.

What's the true value?

(Not for me, Debbie's brother is interested.)

I won't say where it is, by the way, least Kleb head north w/ a trailer.

Don,

For that year it would be a 500SL, 107 body

Here's a link to OurSL.com http://www.oursl.com/listings.php? 
op=showadsmodelid=12For some newer, but still 500SL's, same 107  
body style.


No connection/affiliation/etc  A true value and good price  
are all in the eyes and pocketbook of the buyer and seller.


Take care,

Yes, realized my error a few minutes after sending. In fact, Performance
Products catalog suggests that it would actually be a 450 rather than a 500,
but I am far from an SL expert.

Re: [MBZ] SL500 for sale -- value?

[OK Don]

The 500SL in '79 would be a Euro model. I know they made 500SLC's -
for racing. I don't know if the 500SL is a standard Euro car or rare.
There aren't very many 500SLCs, and the do go for a fair amount of
money.

IIRC the factory euro 500SL did not appear until the early 80s; and imported
in small numbers by MBNA.

At the time, both gray-market and MBNA 500SLs were running around.

You'd have to check the vin # to know what model, of course
