I was to test drive the '98 SL500 tonight, but got stuck in traffic and ...
So we rescheduled for Monday.
The current owner told me why she's selling it
1) with rear wheel drive, it slips in the snow
2) If she parks on a hill, the door can be heavy to open 'up hill'
Otherwise she would still be driving it. She has a new 2016 C class with 4matic.
The suggestions to consider
A) the ease of getting in and out.
B) functionality of the roof
C) my 'good car' or as I refer to it as "The Spare" is the '86 560SL
My wife does have a more reliable, family friendly car (which is not a Mercedes)
D) Condition and miles of the SL500 is yet to be determined.
I will post pictures when I see the car Monday.
Thanks
