How do you reset the oil service light on the 2003 sl500?

That can only be done by a service tech, the car is so new that it will not reset even if you disconnect the battery

**the above is incorrect.

To reset the service light, turn ignition switch to ON position with engine off. Observe speedometer display and tachometer multifunction display. When standard display appears press up or down arrow on the multifunction steering wheel until the FSS service indicator with one or two wrenches appears in speedometer display and service deadline appears in tachometer display.

Now, press the reset button between the speedometer and the tachometer for about 4 seconds or until the tachometer display shows "Do you want to reset service interval? Confirm by using the reset button" To confirm hold down the reset button again until a signal is heard. the service indicator will display the reset interval. Reset is complete.

How much value is a 1988 Mercedes 560sl?

"At this time the Washington state dmv values this car at over 11,000.00. at least that is what they want you to pay sales taxes on. I have adamantly disputed this and told them if they gave $2,000 for my 88 ( in excellent condition and 118,00 miles) I would take it in a heartbeat"

The person who gave the answer above is either a fool or has no idea what an excellent condition Mercedes 560SL is.

When maintained by professionals this car is still iconic and turns heads. The 107 was the most popular body style ever made by Mercedes. As a result they made the same car year after year. This is the opposite of most other classic body styles that benefit from limited production runs.

Placing a average value on a 560SL is difficult because so many were made and many of them are still on the streets and in peoples garages. Then there is the problem where some of the cars were not kept up and then purchased cheap by new owners who can not afford to do the necessary restoration. This too lessens the average value of the model.

At the same time there are people who have long admired the 560SL who could not afford them when they were new. Some of these people are older now and can pay for a 560SL in really excellent condition. On the other hand... we are in a bad economy now where high end toys are not selling well. So once again the average value of a 560SL is difficult to set.

My 560SL it is a 2 owner 1986 black on black with 98,000 miles. The maintenance has always been done at Mercedes or a repair shop that only works on Mercedes and only uses original parts. It has always been kept inside a garage and never used for a primary family vehicle. The car is taken in for preventive maintenance on a regular schedule. So what is my 560SL worth? I do not know. It really comes down to what a buyer is willing to pay for a particular 560SL. Unless my family has a finicky emergency my 560SL is not for sale. If I were looking to buy a car in similar condition in today's economy $17,000 to $24,000 would be a reasonable price range for a very good to excellent condition 560SL depending on the exact condition and history of the car.

You will find nice 560s around for $9,000.00 to $14,000. But be careful even if the car runs well now, there will be upcoming maintenance and the very nature of the car guarantees parts and repairs are not cheap. 560s sold below 8,000 are most probably going to become money pits for the buyer.

It is very likely the money you spend to buy the car plus the cost of even reasonable restoration and upkeep will exceed the actual resale value of the car. I bought mine in VERY GOOD condition 8 years ago for $12,000 since then I have put in another 5 or 6 thousand here and there not so much at any one time that it was really noticeable. For me it has been worth it. The car gives me pleasure.

No matter what the asking price of the car take it to a good German Car Repair facility and get a professional to look the car over. This is not a car where you should let a new paint job or you desire to own one trump common sense.

How do you replace the automatic transmission shift knob on a 1980 450 SL?

You're going to need a Philips screwdriver and I believe a 13 mm open end wrench, and a 10mm socket/ratchet with a 6" extension. Park the car, use the parking brake, then move the shifter to low. Remove the ashtray and then remove the ashtray frame...I believe there are 2 Philip's screws holding the unit in place. Manipulate the frame out of the center console. You can disconnect the ashtray frame's electrical connection. Remove the two Philip's screws on the front of the center console . While gently pulling up on that wooden cover, carefully pull the unit back. It won't move too much because of the electrical connections (window switches and hazard switch). Once that is removed, there are 2 or 3 10mm bolts holding down the black plastic shifter box. Remove the light fixture on the left side of the unit. From there you can manipulate the black plastic box up. You'll see a black rubber boot,, which you may have to move. You should see the 13mm nut on the base of the shifter shaft. Loosen that nut. Once loosened, unscrew the shifter from it's housing. Once that's removed, you can insert the replacement shifter. Make sure you line the shifter up straight before locking it back down...then reverse the steps to button it back up. I might suggest cleaning up all that crap floating around there...and,, because its such a pain to replace the shifter housing light bulb...you might want to invest in the $1.00 for a new bulb. * Be careful when screwing the wood center console down...just snug, do not over tighten those screws or you will crack the wood. This is a simple job to do, and shouldn't take more than 30 mins for a weekend mechanic...Just be careful.

When signal lights are on just loud buzzing sound on 1981 380sl Mercedes what is problem?

It could be a number of things...eletrical problems can be a nightmare. It sounds like you have a problem with your hazard light switch...the big square red button on the shift console. Has this car, and in particular, the hazard switch been exposed to water, extreme dampness...any moisture at all. Do you live near the beach? Did you spill any liquid in the button's area? All of your signal lights are tied into that unit. Also, the problem might be in the turn signal switch on the steering colum. Does the turn signal lever feel very loose? Does it feel like it clicks into place when you move the lever to signal left or right? Does it feel warn out? Does it function properly? And, if those aren't the problems...most likely its a bad relay, which is usually found on the right side foot well, above the fuse panel access. There are about a dozen or so relays there....and unless you're familiar with the color codes or schematics, don't even start to mess with it...it will drive you insane. Most MB mechanics don't have a clue either. I hope this helps you. DM
