I had lots of problems in my 2004. But once the dealer fixes the problems, the car is reliable.

The SL owners like to hang out on another forum.

Talking

Being an active member of the 129 site, I can only quess that the 230 guys might not be "real car guys" NOT meaning that in a bad way, just saying that more 230 guys would just take it to a Dealer and say, JUST FIX IT!!!! I know that a lot of the 129 guys do a lot of their own work. Its funny this should come up, In My part of the Country, 129's and 230's are quite rare, The other day I ran into a 230 guy from away, I asked him about his car and all I got in return was a VERY DUMB look and a response of "It's OK" My personal opinion was one of " Its JUST a CAR, Who really cares" Now I KNOW,YES, I KNOW if it had been a 129 guy we could have had a nice conversation, Oh well, theres one in every crowd.

yeah both were SL55s, im a little nervous thpugh because of reliability issues i have heard but then again i hear a lot of owners have no issues, I guess a long extended comprehensive warranty should be in order
