If you are seriously considering buying an SL500, you should know that there are three repairs that every one of them will require: Replacement of the hydraulic lines and pump for the Active Body Control System, (which requires removal of the engine and transmission), replacement of the hydraulic lines, cylinders and pump for the roll bar and convertible top, and replacement of the transmission conductor plate. These three repairs have all been done on this vehicle within the last two years. If you're looking at a car that has not had these repairs done, add $12,000 to the price because you will be doing them. This engine has a great performance record, but they are notorious for leaking valve cover gaskets. These have been done-RIGHT. (See pictures of the immaculate engine compartment). This car has been meticulously maintained during the nine years that I've owned it. I had the wheels glass bead blasted and powder coated, added the new grill with the lighted medallion, added the, puddle' lights under the doors, installed a Pioneer AV receiver with back-up camera, just had ceramic coating applied, and too many other things to list. Ever heard of the Summer Open, feature? All of this generations SL's and S Classes have a feature where, standing outside the car, you hold down the unlock button on the key fob and the car will unlock, and put the top down. (On the S's, it would open the sunroof and turn the seat ventilators on). The problem is, they ALL had cold solder joints and eventually failed. This car's lock assemblies have been rebuilt and the feature works flawlessly. Oh, and when you hold the lock button down, the roof closes and the doors lock. Needless to say, service records are available. This car is gorgeous and still turns heads. The only reason I'm selling it is because our new home only has a two-car garage and we're sick of having to move a car to get this one out.
