I was very scared of this car at first (still am lol), and ABC was a big part of it. Mine sags when parked overnight for 12+ hours, and I've narrowed it down to a valve block issue, so it doesn't have any problems when the engine is on and the car is running (it's been like that for 9000+ miles I've put on it). I also flushed the ABC fluid / upgraded the filter when I first got the car to ensure I wouldn't have any further issues other than that. I will probably be doing a coilover swap in the next few months just to ensure much more reliability and to not get stuck if a hose blows. If you're able to test drive the car, then that's a huge plus, just to see how well the suspension functions! Considering all of that, I still love the car and drive it at least weekly! Definitely no regrets!

Agreed all around! Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thank you! It's a good balance between increased volume and keeping the original sound, at least to me

Would love to hear a video of that!

M113 is a phenomenal engine, transmission is nothing crazy, usually its the suspension on these but a lot of people swap em out, though do note you should only get one if you are willing to shell out preventative care and really be meticulous about keeping it in top shape and remember that regardless of how solid many components are the cost to repair is still high when something inevitably does break. if you cant afford to do that stay away

As the other answer stated, the engine / transmission is known to be rock solid and durable, though this generation of SL has other common problems - hydraulic suspension and roof leaks, sensotronic brake failure, and ball joints / control arm issues seem to be the most costly of them, though there are many forums in which owners discuss DIY fixes

@@ShutterSpeed_autoanother great video. Still waiting for the one where you tell us you are cancer free. Keep them coming.

@@wstreff Thank you!! Will keep you updated!! 😁😁
