Hi I have previously posted once on this website and received one reply which without being rude was no help at all although I was pleased someone replied.
I need some guidance as I really want to buy a SL350 or 500 year 2004-2005 with low miles. However I have had the cash for two months now and have not bought. This is because I have read lots and lots of reviews and warranty direct advice sites which show that the model I like has numerous design faults which can all lead to expensive repairs. I details some of those faults as rain running into the boot causing the roofs power pump to fail £1000 plus to repair. rain into the back of the doors causing the electrics to fail. warranty direct state this model as one of the top 5 vehicles coming into them for repair with an average repair cost of 600£ - 700£.
can anyone tell me their own experiences or advice otherwise it's going to be a Carrerra 4s same year but a lot more expensive. But I just loved the Sl when I tested the model.
