Hi all
As per title I'm a new member and live in South London. I have got it into my head I really want a Mercedes SL500. I want to use it but also think this is a future classic. I did have but gave up on a Series 2 Jag Coupe XJ6C due to rot, rot and more rot, I gave it away in the end to a car restorer.
I will/can only spend between £3000 to £5000 for one, I really hope? So before I part with any money thought I better do some research on here as I already found out I will need to be careful on what I buy for this kind of money.
I repaired all my own vehicle so ok with spanners. I've also been on You Tube watching SL repair video's which has been a great help.The one thing that scares me is the electric's and clearing Limp Mode issues? Bolting things off and on is not going to be an issue for me.
I own a London Merc Vito Taxi (2010) with the dreaded rear wheel steer. I'm lucky as mine has been fine so love it.
I'm here for help so any advice on the SL500 would be appreciated.
Sorry but I'm probably not going to be able to add anything to the site as I know nothing about these car at the moment only what I'm reading.
Thanks and cant wait to buy my SL500 in the near future and hear what you guys might advise?????
