OM651 ENGINE I believe is being reffered to (c250 etc)
from being on the forums for little while again Ive read thermostat housing & timing chain related issues . Search OM651 problems that should be more accurate im just relaying roughly what Ive read , hope this helps
lovely car there
Nice setup on the wheel design too
ALL cars have issues. Seems there is no perfect car. Just comes down to how lucky you are it seems.
If you love the car youll be able to look past some of the issues but also good to research where possible,,
cant always tell till a few years...
Ive had 4 18" bmw rims without tyres in my crossfire !
& I think a v6 sounds great with the right tweaks. V8 is rowdy but v6 is refined IMO.
Im usually always eyeing up my next purchase (wishlist more like) so it was not hard to link you to those cars !
LED ones dont forget on the SL :)
Agreed does sound fishy. More probing of the seller required - why the sale... Who gets into an SL in winter & gets out in spring summer? Ok everyones circumstances are different but youll have to decide if you like the answer.
I didnt realise Merc did the ABC...
Some good replies above there ^^
As with all cars and the motor industry it seems there is alot that's hidden. I've heard of cars with 3 miles on them needing the whole side repainted. Loads of cars are probably in a collision of some sort and not declared / repaired.
Just because it's not...
Yes for some Bling Bling in the tooth area
These are Porsche Rims dont let anyone hear you say this (Brand followers are against cross brand part usage :eek:)

Question is can you live without distronic? I dont think my SL had that either.
PArking sensors you can always go aftermarket subtle enough as they will go into the bumper mouldings

not sure if it relates to your model
Do you have an AUX port in the glovebox?
Worst case stick a Bluetooth unit on your wind visor or mount in the car (stand alone) and it will work as if you had bluetooth in the car...
Uni colour / unibrow - single is what I make of that too ---
If you like the car & have done some digging & checks out OK I say go for it
No car will be perfect. History/receipts can be dodgy
TO put it into perspective these are some issues Ive found on some other cars that you may think...
I think I may have got lucky with my SL. It wasnt as bad for me as some of the stories Ive read.
But I did put alot of work in myself and agree as someone said above if youre not handy that price could creep up easily. Even if you are handy some of these jobs are not very 'owner friendly'.
Its...
Pleasant to see people are now trusting in what most, and some still, called Cheap Chinese Cr** - because they were cheap , made in China and in their experience (or inexperience infact) cr**
Im all for it. Dont knock it till youve tried it (Properly)
£200 for a unit is great value compared to...
Nice
Have SLs finally dropped below the 6K mark lol
They were in the 6-8 bracket (along with the BMW 6er / M3 e46) for a LONG time
The maroon one has AMG kit - which makes a BIG difference.
Looks like a superb price to me - black interior too
EDIT
Just seen the 2nd one £4650 What the heck is...
