As a twice-a-day minimun lurker on the diesel forum for a few years, thought I'd let you guys know my beloved 1985 300SD now has a companion...or a stablemate! I just got a 1988 560SL. Just to be at both wonderful extremes of the MB driving experience. The SL is BEAUTIFUL! 140k on the clock. So I guess I'll be lurking in two forums now! Look forward to lots of help/advise from the SL guys out there.
So far...NO problems found! It doesn't even leak...anything! Dealer service records drop off around 120k miles. So I'm kinda worried about whether timing chain, etc have been addressed. Guess I'll just enjoy it for a while though...
