Hi, Two days ago I found a beautiful red 1992 SL500. It only had 18,500 miles on it and was in absolutely perfect condition. It was owned by a man in Aspen Colorado (I live in Denver) who kept it in an environmentally controlled garage and drove it less than 2,000 miles a year. Before he got rid of it for a 2003 SL55 AMG last week, he put on a brand new set of michelin high performance tires and got the 15,000 mile service done. It is hard to believe a car like this had such few miles and was in such perfect shape. The engine was spotless. It has a matching hardtop and the soft top looks like it has never seen sunshine. The only thing on this car that isn't working perfectly is the left air conditioning vent. I guess I lucked out and had a feeling this car would be snapped up fast so I bought it. Our other cars are a Volvo S80 and a Saab 9000. So this SL500 is quite different from anything else we've owned. Anyone who can offer advice on a car like this, it will be appreciated. I'd like to keep it in the pristine condition it currently is in. Also, does anyone have any advice on a hardtop hoist for our garage. Our three car garage is now full of cars and I have little room for the hardtop and need it stored up and out of the way. So far my first Mercedes experience is a good one.
Thanks in advance, Don
