😂 😂 Might still look at the coupe instead though 

Kids grow up already, don't need the space that much. 

Try & find a R129,that is the Best,but you need to have a Landed Property to store the Metal Roof.

Thanks bro. How's the mechanism and motors. Live up to its reliability or not... Sekali later spoil every few months or a year 😂

Anyway.. this is probably 七年之痒.. might eventually go for something else instead 

All hydraulic roofs will leak. Regardless of metal or fabric roof. Unless you go for a manual roof like the Miata. The other thing that will be faulty on the roof will be the micro switches and the wiring. The switch will malfunction and the wiring will break as it is flexed often.

I have/had sunroof and convertible.

It is the most enjoyable drives I have/had.

I enjoy topless drive in the morning up to 10am as well as night time.

It is not suitable for ppl who don’t enjoy outdoor activities.

MY friend Triton is 11 years old and zero black smoke (except cold start).

That pickup had EGR planked.

20 years ago when the buses were not air-conditioned and had sliding windows, passengers would spit out of the windows. If you happened to be just beside in your convertible, enjoying the wind in your hair, then suddenly this yellow, wet slop lands in your hair ........

Adblue reduces NOX2 but not smoke.

Smoke mostly from soots.

I bought used 6YO w213 E250 a year ago. 1 owner, full CnC service records. Stil have to change some wear and tear items like arms, brake pads/rotors, ATF flush etc. But generally no big ticket repair needed so far (fingers crossed). Luxurious and comfortable driving experience every day 🙂

Wil either change to EV or renew coe 3yrs later
