Cabrio retractable roof

[zico]

Checked out a resale E cabrio earlier.

 

1. When it open up, there is loud "clap" at the last part. Dealer said its usual... I am worried it isn't. 

2. Any cabro owners have leaking problem during a heavy rain?

 

Anyone here with a cabrio can confirm?

 

Am still considering whether to get a E cabio now... or wait until end 2013 for the facelift.

ask Jaxon he owns a E cab 250

The clap sound is by the flap? If yes is okay. No rain seepage during my 8 months of ownership.

Every time I drop the top, a crowd will gather to watch and clap their hands.

Yes, I think its the flap. The "clap" sounded alarming and unusual.

 

Was just wondering, with Singapore kind of weather, how often do cabrio owners bring down the roof?

[SLKtigress]

hahahahahaha!!!! :')  laff till my tears come out

 

er...cab is soft-top... slk is hard top... so far i didn't hear any clapping sound when the car converts...

but leaking problem i experience when there's torrential rain.

Think I am inclined to wait for the facelift, unless the E cabrio dealer wanna clear stock via a irresistible lelong. Dealer keep saying they are making huge losses on most of their cars, somehow I doubt so... even if they really do lose, its their own business model that may have gone wrong... ie I suspect those who are bleeding not only stocked up heavily, they held the prices high waiting for the perfect buyer. Thats a strange business model coz cars are depreciating assets and are by no means easy to sell.

Chris says use aircon to keep cool.

Rolls Royce brand blower is recommended.

 

 

Plus wait until day 59 to go in and rape the used car dealers.

 

Don't forget sunscreen; because Ziyi Zhang said so.

[Ah Bui]

No wonder you sold ur E cab..... and buy coupe... cos here always raining. . Lol

I do it all the times except raining day. Else i will drive a coupe.

[Odessus]

What Tanzy said is true. Please wait till Day 59 then rape them. Only then will you know their real bottom line.

[zico]

That's true. Wait for the last moment. By then , coe would also drop a fair bit as car buyers now swayed to 2nd hand this 60 days due to the loan relaxation.
