[MBZ] SL500

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

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

Re: [MBZ] SL500 Sounding Bad*ss

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

Re: [MBZ] SL500 Sounding Bad*ss

If you have a lift and a welder. For all the work I do on my cars and the money I save by doing it, I don’t have a problem paying for stuff I can’t or don’t want to do. This is the only cost I’ve had on this car for over a year outside of maintenance items. Tough to complain over $200. -D

My tech is that way. I lost my AC belt so he slapped on a slightly used belt that was hanging around in his shop. Charged me $5. On Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 10:58 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > It’s a local shop that’s second generation. They do custom muffler work

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

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
