so, is it the 307 or the SL65AMG ?

don't know yet. The kids prefer the convertible one but I prefer the reliable one, so DH also :? Anyway need to look around.. Ultimately price is still the main factor. Which ever he chooses, is fine for me cos he is the one paying ...

Go for the Merc... For reliability and in case need to off load after the fad (of owning a sports car) wears off... U shd be able to fetch a better resale value.

To me Peugeot and Renault in the same brand category... A friend of mine bought a Renault convertible for abt $120k, hardly used cos spare car, less than a year and selling off now... At best can fetch abt $82-85K :!: ... Almost $40K depreciation.

Wah! All your hubbies really spoil the market ar! Don't tell my DW puhleeezzz....

Haha.
Daddies are rare commodities in KSP.
It's always nice to read your comments and reactions.

Paging 3Boys' DW. Paging....

Living the drop-top life vicariously through this thread.

Tried driving a Mustang convertible during a vacation to the wine regions of California some time ago. An awful experience, honestly, so top stayed on......:(

It is hot in Singapore and too many traffic lights (too many prying eyes). I drive a convertible (sadly bought with my own money) and seldom open the top. My next buy would be a coupe (or maybe a MPV with the increasing barang barang I have ).


So buy the Merc coupe coz it's more practical and has better resale value. I would prefer the Merc CLK though. It comes in coupe and convertible but think only sold 2nd hand now? Sat in my friend's CLK coupe and it was not bad and Stef Sun used to drive one. The CLC (think the one you are thinking of) has an ugly behind actually but if you want brand new, CLC is for you.

SLK is too small for you and kids. Quite impractical.

Don't buy Renault or Peugeot.

If really have money, buy Lexus convertible or Maserati lah...

Why dun you get him to buy a 2nd property (or 3rd) in your name only? Then you rent out and the rental can go straight to your bank account EVERY month. You can buy lots of things with $2-3K extra money every month.

Yes, that will be what I will ask my DH when he hits the jackpot.

My first car was a soft-top Golf convertible.
I never once opened the top.
I washed it twice in 6 years.
The black-colored top changed to light grey, white almost.
When I brought it to scrap, the technician tried to open the top, and it fell to the ground *crash* :oops:
