Stumbled upon this and wanted some feed back. It's 1993 600SL, 70k original miles, interior is mint, everything works, no rust, good paint, soft and hard top both in good shape, runs and drives nice. Now for the things i'm not so sure about. Car has a prior salvage title due to a front/side accident without airbag deployment. Owner who has his own shop says he bought it and fixed the accident damage and it wasn't all that bad. The little strut warning light thing is on and i'm not sure what that means. The ASR warning light came and stayed on when we first ran the car. He got it to turn off by turning the car off and then back on again. Said it's never done that before. When I accelerated from a stop at WOT, I noticed the traction control kicked in around 30mph but i'm not sure if I hit road paint or a wet spot and made the wheels slip? When I went to select reverse, it just revved, so I moved the lever down a tad more between R and N and reverse engaged just fine. PO said the linkage needs to be adjusted. Rollbar keeps popping up and needs a sensor. These are the main issues I had with the car, and was wondering if i'd be getting into a real headache? Asking price is aorund $10k.
