Hello, I am also, like some here in the forum, looking for a convertible/roadster, which should only serve as a fun car and possibly be inherited. In short choice the Z4 came as a 6-cylinder, Porsche Boxstar or just an SL R230. Criteria: 1Hand, up to 30,000 km, full leather, service only in a contract workshop, purchase price up to 30,000 €. The Z4 fell due to (on me) cheap processing. Stay still Porsche and the SL. Since here in forum already high Unterhale My question is: how reliable is an SL? With this Km performance and the expected Km performance of approx. 5,000/year, nothing could happen except engine oil change. Inspection at 60,000Km (motor oil, spark plugs, air filter, brake fluid, possibly brake pads). I have been a BMW driver since 1981 and have no idea of Mercedes vehicles at all. Or do I have their own?
