SENC Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Got offered a deal I couldn't turn down recently, and now own a 1988 Mercedes 560SL. Definitely no lightness added to these vehicles, but a nice car nonetheless. As with all 30+ yo cars it will need some service and TLC - I'm finding some good support at benzworld.org, but nothing like we have here for our Sevens! So, this is first and foremost a post of thanks for this great community that readily shares ideas, expertise, and advice. Secondly, if there are any other 560SL owners among the group, perhaps we can share notes and tips as I learn how to maintain my new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovchandr Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Congrats. Don't know how well it's been maintained and what's been replaced but my piece of advice is give all the rubber pieces a good inspection. All the coolant hoses, fuel lines, fuel pump gasket, pan gaskets etc. You also have to pay the picture tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
