1992 500SEL Black and grey 2 tone w/ camel brown interior
i bought the car for a steal from an old guy who was doctor. he had no problem shelling out $$$ to the dealership for regular maint. he also did a number of things such as upgrade suspension, replace hydraulic lines, upgrade AC, transmission maint and hell of alot more. and the best part was he had $20k in receipts to prove it. so it was a no brainer. motor and trans remain bulletproof.
the only thing i've had to take care of was a squeek in the suspension, and that cost me 90$. theres a small knuckle inside the suspension. sometimes the fluid inside the rubber gets low and it starts making some really annoying noise. my mechanic just took siringe full of fluid and injected it and it was gone. usually this is the best way a mechanic can get you to spend hundreds$ on the suspension work.
im hoping to do some minor cosmetic changes this summer. what about you?

yeah, the S320 with the Brabus wheels look really clean. Im trying to find some mono blocks for my 500 as well. Im still not convonced on the white corners... i kinda like the stock ones. I did want to expiriment and see if I can fit the 97 corner lights on mine...
