1983 Mercedes 500SEL (European)
Looking for an owners manual for my mercedes. Anyone have one they will part with or know of where I might find one? I understand that MB did not make 500SEL in l983 for american market. Ours european model. Found out l984 parts fit it. Are there many '83 500SEL in USA? Like to hear from anyone that has one. Appreciate any input.

They are really rare in the US. I kind of keep an eye out for them because the drive train in that puppy will drop right into my 83 280SL as pretty much just a bolt in proposition. I love to find a wreck with a good drivetrain, so if you run that thing up a tree, drop me a line.
There is a guy on ebay who pops in and out. He's over in Germany, and he sells brand new owners manuals for Euro cars. I had to bid three times to get my hand on one for my 280SL, and I paid like 40 or 50 bucks for it. It arrived promptly in brand new condition. I can't remember the name of the guy for the life of me, but what I did to lurk for the guy was just make a daily habit of going to ebay Auto Parts section and type in "Mercedes manual" in the search box, and when he had them for sale, I'd see em. |

'83 Mercedes 500SEL
Thanks Kirk for your input. I will be checking ebay every day like you suggested. Hope I get lucky. Lucky enough to find the manual and lucky enough to not run into a tree.
