Always wanted one of these - my dream car.
But is it more trouble than its worth - even with a MB warranty, and is the SL320 a better option ?
Your advice would be most appreciated

I've looked at getting a 89+ 500SL also.
Have a look at Mercedesshop.com that Ernest pointed out to me. Do a search on their forum under "500SL" to see what issues people have had.
Seems leaking hardtops are common along with fuel leaks from one of the rear pumps.
Hope this helps,
Trevor

I insisted on getting a 6-cylinder myself rather then buying an 8-cylinder 500...way more expensive in service and petrol (besides insurance and road tax).

(I have a 300SL24.)

greetingz,
