thanks lynns for fast reply. Im new to benz. this car im trying to buy has the wipers on the headlights? could this mean not true sport? thanks again!!!!

lynns

If the car has the features of the SL1 package it is a Sport model.

I am sorry that I confused you by posting the features included in the SL2 package.

you could have an Sport Package with out SL2 value added package...... hope to clear thing up........ An sport package is just AMG body kit and wheels.......

the "integrated trunk-mounted 6-disc CD changer" was also available as a dealer installed option in 1999.

seems this 1999 i bought this weekend has options from both packages. I still have wipers on lights...have the sport badges on side..has 6 cd changer in trunk. but all four tires are 245.45 r17 but the wheels are the five star alloy wheels.

lynns

Congratulations on your new purchase! Now post a picture.

Sounds like you got a car that had a stand alone CD changer added. It also sounds like you got a Sport model and somewhere along the line the 18" rims and tires that are a part of the Sport package got changed out. I wish you would have gotten the 18" wheels as you should have if it has the Sport emblem on the lower planks. The 18" AMG rims are very expensive as a single add on.

sound like you don't have a sport package....... Maybe the guy just put on the sport emblems........

well, here are the example......

do your car look like example A?


or do your car look like example B?


The example B is the sport package....... see the AMG body kit and wheel.....

Here are some pics of the AMG body enhancements (white) as well as the Sport emblem (only on 1999-2000) and the Xenon vs.regular headlights with wipers..

I bought a 92 600SL today. What are the differences in the early cars.
I sold my 95 320SL for the 600

Take a look at this site.

Also, you can go to the webpage below, and click on "Features and Specs". You will find a menu option "16 year Model Overview" It has nothing to do with underage models. Instead, selecting that option will activate another menu that lists out the specific years for SL's from 1990 through 2006. You can then select a year -- it will show you lots of details about a specific model.

Apparently some past owner was doing a "fake out". the car has no amg body kits, no xenon lights just sport badges on lower side panel and a six cd changer in the trunk. Being new to this forum I really appreciate all the expert input from you "ALL" as we say it texas. didnt do to bad on puchase shes's black exterior, gray interior, perfect shape except she needs engine and trans. mounts. paid $16,700 cash. 71,000 miles.....
