Red face Re: wanting to buy '05 convertible-help!!

Hi Deb! Don't listen to them! Graphite roadsters are the fastest and evryone knows it lol! Seriously though, open the boot and look carefully around the catch handle underneath as they are prone to corrosion. Check the seal around the rear window and if it's an auto, check that the gear box oil and flter have been changed around 37500 miles if it's done that many miles - I take mine to an ex-mercedes guy who now has his own merc centre and he strongly recommends doing it earlier rather than the 80000 it says in the owners manual and as it's a mercedes gearbox I'm inclined to go with his words of wisdom as he's never diddled me in the past. I am in love with mine and i'm sure you will love yours too. Hope this helps! PS, I agree with the first post - I wish i'd gone for the SRT too!
