Can I get some honest feedback from experienced owners on the validity of hard to come by parts and finding knowledgeable service technicians? Thanks and I look forward to your comments.

This car was built using the 2003 2004 Mercedes SLK r170 platform and chassis parts are readily available in a wide variety of automotive aftermarket Parts Outlets, the drivetrain is the same and shares the same availability, the body parts ie sheet metal is a different story they are as George has stated hard to come by and very expensive that's why the insurance companies write them off so easily with relatively minor damage, I have a 2005 ragtop Roadster and I enjoy every minute of ownership and I keep it in Tip-Top condition with the help of my friends here on the Forum, I don't regret one day of ownership.
