Last night I got stuck several times in one of our wonderful mid-west snow storms, the traction control light came on, and it felt like it was restricting my gas pedal, no biggie. Got in the car this AM, and no reverse, can anyone tell me where to start checking for the solution to this problem?
Q/2: I am on eBay watching an 1984 500SL from LA, seller is called "Frontline Leasing" anyone know this guy? |
I bought my 300CE from them and found them OK, but you have to explicitely ask about the accessories of the car, like manual, car jack, spare key, tools. Don't assume that they come with the car.
Looks like they are a small firm, which specializes in getting the cars cheap from dealer auctions and making some money by selling them on ebay.
the 1984 500SL you are looking at is about to end shortly. It won't be enough time for all pre-purchase enquiries or PPI.
The european SLs look much nicer with the short bumpers, not defaced by US bumpers (and headlight?).
