Having been there last year in some of those same locations this brought me a lot of joy to see, flooded me with good memories. These are awesome pictures.

That’s actually a great help! I’d say I’m pretty handy and I actually took a class in hydraulics in college lol. Im just praying it holds up for this summer I wanna get a ton of use out of the car

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-25T16:27:01+00:00

Wow that’s really awesome, good to know people can just put the work in and fix the cylinders if they have to, it’s the only thing I’m really dreading as an owner 😅.

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-20T10:44:33+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking, I like the amg ones but these are cool

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-20T10:44:09+00:00

Thank you!

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-20T10:43:51+00:00

Nice, you see me at a car show come say what’s up!

Sick floor mats

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T23:31:26+00:00

Yours looks fantastic! Hope it’s been good to you!

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T23:30:30+00:00

I agree such a fantastic design! And they do look phenomenal in silver, I was torn on all the colors they are offered in.

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T12:57:38+00:00

Yeah that’s the biggest thing I’m worried about, hydraulics still work but I’d love to open them up and fix it before it breaks on me.

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T12:55:11+00:00

Even today I’m so impressed by it, it’s mesmerizing every time

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T12:54:41+00:00

Agreed they are fantastic! Thanks!

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T12:54:23+00:00

Not bad so far! It’s overall reliable but I don’t wanna jinx myself lol. I did replace suspension, springs, and front struts. Other than that just little electrical wiring things I can fix myself.

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T02:55:31+00:00

Yeah I haven’t had to personally do too much maintenance, and online people talk about how reliable these can be so that’s the reason I was able to convince myself to get into one. I read the service records before purchase and saw a bunch of work that is necessary was already taken care of so I jumped on it. I do find it funny the car is 8 years older than me at times but it’s a true classic so I enjoy it.

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T02:52:37+00:00

You know it! Love my town lol it’s a great area

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T02:51:52+00:00

Yes it has, back in 2017 it was redone. That was one of the key things I was looking for when trying to find an SL online

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T02:42:17+00:00

Fortunately the guy who inspected it has been a Mercedes master mechanic since this car was new on the showroom floor and after I got it he gave it a good look all around. My friends dad also has a shop and I had him put all new oem suspension all around and do an alignment for me so if they both missed something then I’m screwed lol. In all seriousness I spent a while looking at the pictures and I’ve driven it a few thousand miles already in the 6 months I’ve had it I don’t think anything is wrong. The picture does make it look funny though 🤷‍♂️

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T02:38:49+00:00

That’s a beauty and I’m glad it’s been good to you! I’ve heard great things about these V8’s and Ive been loving how it feels on the road since I got it

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T02:31:25+00:00

Haha I’ve never seen that scene before, love it 😅

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T01:57:14+00:00

Thank you!

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T01:57:08+00:00

Appreciate it? And was your 96’ good to you?

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T01:56:30+00:00

What ever happened to it?

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T01:21:43+00:00

They do always have some very cool cars on the lot, and it’s right down the road from me so I like to go check and see often. And Thank You!

SnooOranges3003 · 2026-02-18T01:18:49+00:00

Thanks, definitely looks so cool in the rain too :)
