The engine needed a rebuilding at around 100,000 miles, but that is completely normal for any car.
The seats needed to be re-covered once the car turned 13 years old, which is very normal as well.
The same thing goes for the wooden trimming. It began to crack at around 10-15 years of age, and it, too will need to be replaced.
The car is a very very fast car. The 5.6L V8 engine could not be more powerful, and I am very pleased with it.
Because it is so big, though, it does drink gasoline, and I am only able to get around 20mph. Do to this, Mercedes installed a nice little guage for your fuel economy, that sqhowed you how economically you were driving.
For a high performance sports car, it is exceptionally comfortable, and to say that it handles like it is on rails is such an understatment.
The last 560sl was built in 1989 no such animal in 1991.
1989 was the last year for true MB quality and class. THese older SLs are what MB built its reputation on. New ones do nothing for me. Sorry. It is clearly reflected int he depreciation rates found on the 1990s models.
A merc engine rebuilt at only 100k? Did you change the oil regularly?
