1991 MB 500SL Concerns/Questions
I need some help here. I am currently looking into purchasing a 1991 500SL with 82,000 miles currently on the car. Only major issue is the pump for the convertible top needs to be replaced.
I am hoping someone can answer the following questions for me:
1. How many miles will a well-maintained engine in this car generally last?
2. What (if any) major issues is this specific model notorious for?
3. Around how much $$ will it be to fix the convertible top pump?
4. What are some places that I could purchase aftermarket parts such as a new exhaust?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

The M119 motor in that car is legendary for its durability and longevity.
Are you sure this vehicle needs a pump motor? Have the fuse and control relay been checked?
I have a complete used pump assembly that I will sell at a small discount to whatever you may find on eBay.
