1991 300SL, R129, 5 Speed, What problems did these cas have if any?
Hi,
I am interested in buying a 1991 300SL, R129 with a 5 speed, I know nothing about this model. What I would like to know is there any major issues with this car I need to know about. The car has 85,000 miles on it and is in near mint condition. Thanks, Jim |

Hydraulic top problems have plauged the R129 chassis.
The M104.98_series is a bit weak for that 4000+ lb car. I always liked the manual trans SL's

Thank You for the info/help,
How often would I have to repair this problem? And has it been repaired once already with the mileage (85,000) on this car? |
