Wife is looking for a convertible and has found two possibilities that she likes - a 2009 SL 550 with 29k miles, and a 2012 SLK 350 with 16k.

Reliability data on consumer reports is spotty, so I figured the best place to get feedback would be on the forums.

The 2009 has been in an accident, but airbags didn't deploy, so I don't know how serious it was.

Any advice on these two - anything in particular to be concerned with or to look for?

Thanks in advance.

If reliability is your only concern, get the SLK. It will be much more reliable.

Agreed it will be more reliable however you cannot compare these two as they are in different leagues. The SL is a far superior car.
