I need helP!!!
Hello all,
I am thinking about purchasing an SL, I would like to get a brand new one, but I am hesitant due to reliability problems I've been reading about. I'm thinking of getting an older one (2003) with quite a few miles (20k), I figure that if the car has high miles and the work schedule has been kept, that I will get a realiable car. What do you guys think? Also, this will be my one and only car, so how do these cars fair in snow?

Stay Away
Stay away from Capital Euro Cars. Incompetence from the top down. I have also heard that there were more problems with 03, than with later models.

Hey SteveK,
I m happy to see there is someone else from Tally on here
. Yeah, I went to CRapitol Eurocars about 3 years ago to take a gander at the clk, they were complete morons, I left! I'm thinking about buying my car from the Pompano Beach Benz dealer, is there a better dealer out there? Thanks, Tim

People don't seem to car much for Pompano...do a quick search on this forum, it's not pretty. People have had good things to day about Tampa.

Large dealership, large service department, a lot of the same people have been there for a very long time. The more cars you service the more apt you are to be familiar with problems and solutions that a lot of people need.
