Dimitris,

Good luck with the Boxster!

How was your experience owning the R129? I've always liked those cars. The prices have come down so much on the R230's I might just have to pick one up some day. It would be a great tourer.

Hi ddb , the R129 is a beautiful roadster. I got a '98 which is the most desirable year for horse power and quality. Had the AMG package and the Panoramic hardtop. Got a set of 16's OEM mercedes rims and Bridgestone snow tires for the long north east winter.
The cats went right after i got her, big $$$ ! ! Spent 5K in 2.5 years just in parts to keep her mint.
The R230 is a modern Mercedes. Not for my taste though. .
Prices dropping while gas is going up every other day
