As "exotic" cars go, this is one surprisingly reliable vehicle!
My other two MBs have seen the dealership far more often than the SL...fluid changes at the dealership and some minor parts replacements done at home was all the SL asked of me.
I love how MB keeps body style changes subtle...the 1990 looks as nice as a 2002. And until the R230s really hit the streets (only seen three around here since inception), it will still be the "haut couture" of MBs...
Happy Motoring!
