Hi,

If you want to drive safely in the winter you should definitely consider winter-tires, as things get very slippery with all that power on you rear-wheels in the cold/wet/ice/snow/slush.

Getting a second hand '03 with some Km on it will give you the advantage that the previous owner probably ironed out some of the possible 'problems' that the car might have had (ask for the service-record). Germany is the place to get it from since the choice is the biggest.

If I were you I'd only buy from a genuine Daimler Chrysler dealer, since they give european wide warranty on the cars (don't know if Estonia applies, ask). And I'd only buy a car that has been serviced by Daimler Chrysler from start to finish (again, ask for the service record).

Also you'd have to find a good place to be able to service the car in Estonia. I don't know how that is organized.

the car is fine. it looks great, super fast, etc etc

if i had to come up with something, then it would probably be the weight. Its around 1875kg...

Do you have MSN Messenger? I got a SL55 video review from top gear, its a 70MB .avi that I can send u... so if u are interested let me know..

I have one and I love it. I haven't experienced any problems (yet, but only drove 4.000Km). I bought it 2nd hand in Germany from a Daimler Chrysler dealer.

I'd advise you to check here instead of Mobile.de: http://www.mercedes-benz.de/content/...fahrzeuge.html
