Hi Everyone,

have posted on here before but can't for the life of me remember my user name or password! anyways.

my question is i'm starting to look sl's r129 and wanted to know if anyone has taken the plunge on a 3/4k car, if so was it something ou instantly regretted?!

i have that kind of money to spend and top of the is the sl, i've owned everything else around this price bracket that i'm interested in 928's 635csi etc.

cheers for the info, the third 928 s4 i owned had 272k on the clock and never missed a beat for the year i had it. just need to keep my eyes peeled for a nice original car.

sounds great, i think i'm gonna take the plunge when i find the right car. like you i know the risks, but i do basic work myself and have a great mechanic for anything i can't do!

if you could let me know if you see or hear of any cars up for sale that might be right for me that would be great!, mileage doesn't bother me as long as its been looked after properly.

cheers guys, i'm happy to wait till the right one comes along at the right price i'm hoping with the summer pretty much over that the next 3 months may see a couple of decent ones come up
