SL 350 First Mercedes

[BilboBaggins]

Hi

BilboBaggins here, I’ve just bought my first Mercedes a 2006 SL 350. Good time of the year to buy a convertible, hopefully some nice crisp sunny winter days ahead.

You'll be lucky, it's not called the Emerald Isle for nothing!

Only joking, welcome.

Exactly the right time of year. I bought both my SL500 and SL350 in the two dark months before Christmas, and paid the appropriate price ;-)

And with the heated seats and heater on, it is a very nice place to be, with the hood down,

providing it's not figging raining - to quote Father Jack.


Ps Make sure that the floor of the boot, including the tyre well, are as dry as a bone. If they're not, have a bit of a google and find out how to clean your hood drains and repair damaged rubber seals. (It could cost you more than a grand if water gets into the electrics in the boot floor)

And if the car has spent the year sat in a garage, get/borrow a battery charger or ideally a CTEK battery conditioner, to fully charge BOTH batteries before the Winter sets in.
