Just bought a 1987, 560SL!

Hello everybody. I have been lurking here for awhile, being a sponge and learning as much as I can. Thank you for all of the useful information that I have managed to pick up.

Today I completed a deal for a 1987, 560SL, black on black with 73,000 kilometers (44,000 miles). It is in fantastic shape and mechanically checked out as excellent. The dealer is fixing a few minor items and I will be picking it up Tuesday (can't wait!).

I have posted a picture from the dealers web page and will follow up with a few more next week.

Thanks again for the information and hope to learn (and share any knowledge) in the future.

Congratulations on your new purchase...looks great!

Welcome to MercedesShop. You will find a wealth of information and expertise from this group. Hopefully the tips you garnish here will save you some hassles and needless trips to the dealer, and $$$.

Make sure you buy your parts here at FastLane and PartsShop. Also check with Luke at TireRack when you need to swap out the rubber. Prices are competitive and parts are OEM or better quality.

Great car you've got there!! Here's to many enjoyable miles of happy motoring!!
