I would love to find a sweet deal on a low mileage 1-2 year old Lexus SC430 convertible! An absolute gem of a car with the hard top for year round driving and summertime drop top pleasure. New these go for almost 80k so used maybe 30k would be nice ride for major discount. But its sad that Mercedes has produced crap the last few years. I like the SL550 and maybe Mercedes will bring quality control back into their cars again.[/quote]
Mercedes have been producing crap for years. They never scored well on reliablity and were always the most expensive cars to have serviced.
BMW is the same way. Problematic to say the least. Anything that can go wrong with a BMW’s electronics will go wrong sooner or later.
Hands down the Japanese cars are head and shoulders above the Germans.
