Hi everyone,
Just signed up and said my hellos', and so i'm now after a bit of down to earth advice.
I am going to look at a 1992(K) SL500 at the weekend that is described by the seller as 'mint' condition, having been stored in a heated garage for most of it's life. It has covered under under 100,000mls and is fitted with 18" AMG alloys.
But...and isn't there always one of those...the drivers seat fore & aft adjustment is intermittent, but does work if the switch is fiddled about with. As I understand, a switch can be had off fleabay for around £40-£70 notes, but how easy is it to swap them over?
The other thing is the soft top rear window has what the seller describes as a 'tiny split' in it. I have seen the posts on here regarding some excellent work done on replacing the window in England. Does anybody know of a company in Scotland that does this work to a similar standard?
Anyway, this car has got a hold of my heart at the moment, and so i'm hoping for some honest opinions on whether this car sounds overpriced, and any advice at all on the other points is gratefully accepted.
Cheers
