Thailegend,
yours looks like a 93 or a 94. My question to you has to do with mine (same model) regarding spongy brake pedal. My dealer tells me it's normal for this year model and 'feels' different than the 90-92 year.
The brakes on mine arent as effective as the 90-92 model. The brake pedal is spongy, brakes don't apply right after you put your foot on the pedal, there's about 2.5 inch travel before you feel the callipers working, and one needs a really heavy foot in order to get the same response from the brakes that you would get from another model year.
Given yours is the same model/year i wanted to find out if you experience the same or not...
thanks.

lesx400- yup its a 94. I think its normal for it to push in before it hit the calipers. If you are driving faster in my case you dont need to push as hard but at low speed you do. In my previous 98 SL you had to push it in beofre it actually hit the caliper, and the same with my ML. I never drove a 90-92 so i cant compare it to that. But thats my opinion

lonely-stop reading my mind

ok first off its a guy. haha anyways there was one recall on it for a steering clamp or hose. Mercedes took care of that . I dont have the designo edition, I have the grey leather. I took some pictures and they are on my site Ill post it here on CL so you cen easily access it if youd like. I bought it used from a lady who bought it from the showroom floor with 17500 miles for 32500. It is very safe without a doubt. One incident being crossing four lanes and almsot side swiping a car it was able to turn away. minus would probably its not as smooth as the lexus. Wind noise on the highway is louder then the lexus. It oculd be due to the skyview roof (not moonroof). All right im a bit tired of typing but anymore questions or infor you would like to know just ask

I knew it was a 94 from the leather color. That color wasn't offered on the 1990-1993 models.

Cool!
