~ After reading this thread, and considering the 05 Roadster that I am about to part with, made me realize that I will have to replace (send to Klaus for rebuild)) the two leaking main lifting cylinders of the top. Anyone interested in a convertible certainly doesn't want ANY issues with the top if I want to get my asking price. Why the SLK's are bringing more money is a mystery to me. Crossies are more rare and more stylish in my opinion.
~ Concerning salvaged titles,(flood damage) with a good thorough inspection and knowledge of these cars of what failures occur when water gets in, some good buys can be had without worries.
~ I'll repost the 05 roadster for salewhen the lifting cylinders are done. Pics of it are in the old sales thread.
