Plugged trap oxidizer, cracked head, rear suspension issues. Most common SLS problem seems to be dead accumulators, which are roughly as expensive as shocks on a sedan. If the car still has a trap on it, I believe the fix is a catalytic converter and exhaust system at MBZ expense. (or was it the 126 that gets a whole new exhaust?) I suspect that if MBZ has already put a cat on the car, the next cat will cost you 4 digits, but I'm guessing. I'm sure you could have a cat delete pipe made for less than a cat from mbz.
