I used Lemon Squad because there were no shops near by that didn't have a 2 week wait period...But to my untrained eyes, they seem to have done a thorough job.

Report below
Pictures that the mechanic took are here 2006 SLK 55 - Google Drive

Dealership is asking $22,000, should I go ask them to fix some of the items and/or lower price?

Thanks!

Valve cover gaskets known issue.
Mine were done when I bought circa 40k miles and went again recently circa 80K miles.
Mixed use but I 'enjoy' the car ;)
I'd certainly like that fixed. Cost for me at Indy was circa $200 I think.

RMS he could not inspect (might show on annual inspection cert if it has one and is publicly viewable).
That may be engine out jobbie as I recall. Mine has slight weep and is noted every year on service but deemed insufficient to warrant attending to. When it does get done I will do engine mounts at same time (which could be source of steering wheel vibration).

Sorting turn signal in both mirrors is home doable with care from what others have previously done.

Door insert sagging. Glue is known to fail.

Misfire? Plugs? If so, price 16 as two per cylinder, so not cheap.

I can't even guess if price is ok as not my market (in UK).

I'd ask for more off price but consider settling for seals and plugs if it was a car that I desired.

Impossible to be certain from distance, but at least you have a clearer view now.

Have to filter through this one, but some say motor, others engine.


Not sure but possibly those with ecp access may be able to get the history.
Well done.
