hey guys!!
i am considering buying an SLK 55 within the next 6 months but hav been unable to get any info online regarding buying a used 55 amg :(
i will b lookin at an earlier car, 2005 or 2006 car for around £25 to £30k at the early part of next year but i want to find out as much info...
As a matter of interest how many hours does it take a competent specialist to replace worn valve guide oil seals on a 1991 500SE? How much would the parts cost?
Thanks in advance.
