@CruisinWrld44 - I have a 2000 R129. I bought two "generic" remote fobs/flip keys for my car that actually work! Contact Payless Car Keys in Staten Island, NY. I had to send them my ignition module, and they provided and programmed two remote keys for my car. $350 for one remote key, $500 for two remote keys. I believe they only have keys for R129's from 1997 - 2002. You are welcome! ;-)

Everyone's talking about the rarity of the top and options but can we talk about how it still has 3 flip fobs with it. Wish I could get new ones. GLWTA!
A couple of quick questions. Was the windshield replaced at some point and that is how the plastics by the mirror got damaged along with the scratces by the VIN? Is the tire with the inside wear pattern on the same location as the strut with the flex shield disconnected and does the steering pull to one side?
Love seeing proper GAHH parts used! Really cool SL.

Folks over at MBM are right, this is pretty much the ideal spec. Sport-check, xenons-check, heated seats-check, pano-check. Value!!
The insides of the tires look pretty rough and look like would need to be replaced before driving. When was an alignment last performed?

Looks to be in great condition for the mileage. What are the date codes on the tires? Also, have the 11 hydraulic cylinders for the soft top been changed? Is the top functional?
