Thinking of getting an SL-Advice needed

[shorty]

With regards to your worries about Air strut failures and the potental cost , I was having the same worries before I bought my 211 , it has Airmatic . I found this company
Air Suspension Kits, Air Shocks, Suspension Parts, Struts - Arnott Industries
They can rebuild the E class struts , they may be able to rebuild SL struts as well

Drive an SL500 before settling on the SL350

You'll kick yourself if you buy a 350 and regret it ................

Can I buy a warranty from MB on a car not purchased from MB, but from an independant, non MB dealer?

Yes you can, I have one on my car, so long as the car has full Mercedes Service History, there are no checks but you can't make claims for pre existing faults and you cant claim in the first thirty days.

Air suspension is covered and is one of the main reasons that I wanted this warranty as at £1k a corner it is scary without it.

Hope it's the right one!

The R230 does not have air suspension - it's hydraulic - different thing.

Sure, it is £1k a corner but that's only if it needs a new strut which is not that common and the ABC suspension makes all the difference - if you are really talking about driving on the twisty bits, if you had two cars, one with ABC and the other standard, the ABC car will leave the conventional for dead

Tan-It will have full MB history, with about 7 months left on the Tier 1 warranty from a private sale. Do I now need to continue with MB servicing or can I use an indy such as Olly in order to keep the waranty good?
