2008 SL550 Expensive to Maintain!
2008 SL550 with only 38k miles.
Since 2013 these are the following repairs I have had done:
-Vario roof hydraulic pump replaced ($2054.00)
-AC Compressor replaced ($2100.00)
-Driver's side SAM replaced ($729.00)
-Convertible top flaps replaced ($697.00)
-Right cylinder head replaced ($4437.00)
-Engine and transmission mounts replaced ($1600.00)
-Rear engine oil leak repaired ($500)
Verdict: Wow these cars are expensive to maintain! This does not include the money spent on routine maintenance (oil change, air filters, etc.). Extended warranties are a must have.
Any SL owners out there with similar repairs?
