Drammen Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Hei, Folkens! Jeg hadde en tråd her tidligere om en 1979 6.9, hvor jeg fikk gode råd. Nå har jeg spørsmål om SL 500 (eller 600), dersom noen av dere har en slik bil (?). Tanken er noe rundt årsmodell 2000 > 2002. Jeg husker ikke når det kom "ny" modell, men antar det var rundt disse årstallene. Har lyst på en slik, men har liten erfaring, og jeg leste nettopp noe på en amerikansk side (se under). Hva er ulempene med en slik bil. På forhånd takk! POORLY BUILT CAR SL500 2dr Convertible (5.0L 8cyl 5A) Just sold my 2003 SL 500 Designo had it for 7 years too many trips to the dealer for repairs a car with only 3300 miles had more problems than it should have had for a supposed quality car.Dealer told me don't keep this car without a warrantee at cost of $6800.00 The car lost to much value when sold.This car is a money pit needs expensive repairs every month. Great looking but not reliable stay away. Read less 2 out of 5 stars Please, stay away! SL55 AMG 2dr Convertible (5.5L 8cyl S/C 5A) Seeing the price of these cars on the used market is a tempting purchase. When everything is working it is overall a fantastic car, fast, good looking, comfortable, etc. HOWEVER: REGARDLESS of what anyone tells you, I doubt there is a more complicated and unreliable car on the market. In under one year, I have spent over $8,000 on unplanned repairs. This is not because the car wasn't maintained, they are just chronically unreliable. Suspension issues, getting stuck in park, trunk leaks, rattles, motor/transmission mounts, supercharger intercooler pump, alarm siren, trunk struts, this is a partial list of the problems that I've had. Most of the reviews on here are overwhelmingly positive, but you need to see the dates - many 10+ years ago when the car was newer. Most recent reviews will attest to my warning: DO NOT LET THE LOOK/DRIVE OF THE CAR TEMPT YOU. The car moved from a "love/hate" relationship to a "mostly hate" relationship after being in the shop at least once a month. Oh, and as a daily driver over 14k miles it has averaged 13.5mpg in the suburbs, but you should know that going in - it costs to go fast. In summary, there is no such thing as a cheap MB SL, you're paying in depreciation or you're paying in maintenance, pick your poison. Quote
Jan S Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Hei Drammen, ja husker din 6.9 Har du solgt den nå? Kan dessverre ikke hjelpe deg med SL'en. Quote
Drammen Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 Nei, fikk over 40 henvendelser med tilbud om innbytte fra traktor til snøfresere, men det var ikke aktuelt for meg. Så jeg prøver igjen når snøen blir borte https://www.finn.no/car/used/ad.html?finnkode=77399073 Quote
Drammen Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 Er det ingen her som har en SL jeg spør om? Quote
