Folks,
I'm going to go and see a 1 owner 1991 300SL-24 tomorrow.
I love driving the 300E-24 and that's why i'm looking at the same engine in a soft top.
The car was bought as a demonstrator from the main dealer in 1991 then traded in last year for a new SL350.
There are a few wee things that need to be sorted, nothing major and IBW has guided me on those items.
One other thing that has cropped up is one of the quarter lights in the soft top has cracked so will need repairing.
I would like to know what its going to cost me (roughly) to get the quarter light repaired.
If I buy her i'm going to do the following:
New Wiper blades,
new headlamp washers,
fix bonnet deadening clips,
new discs and pads all round,
Fix o/s diff seal leak,
new ARB bushes,
Full service,
And possibly new prop shaft donuts.
Is there anything else I should be looking out for?
tia,
KJ.
