You should be able to find used ones for a lot cheaper. Google is your friend.

VITALS!!!!

air bags changed between generations. Thus price changes between generations. Ease of replacement changed between generations...

Glad your ok tho!

Re: had a little misshap..

i found airbags from a 96 sl2, they look like they'll fit. i got a 99 sl2.
other than a cracked front/left bumper, thats all thats wrong with it.

Re: had a little misshap..

**sigh**
i dont know wut to do now, when the fixed my car the drained the oil and DIDNT PUT ANY BACK IN. i dont know how u screw that up but thats wut the mechanic at my shop said. he said my engines as good as gone now and that hes surprised it didnt break down after i started it up. although it makes an ICREDIBLY loud knocking noise whenever it runs.

i dropped it off at the shop and i dunno wut to do now... my baby's gone

Seems to me that the shop that drained your oil should be buying you an engine.

Re: had a little misshap..

its totalled. they said they didnt drain the oil and that it was empty to begin with.
they said its too much to repair now and just put the claim on it and get as much as i can..

Re: had a little misshap..

Depends on your skill level. If you have the patience and oppertunity (aka you can get to work with out the car or have another spare car (rental?) ) Id replace the engine.

How long did you run it with out oil?
