I'm looking at a 2005 SLK350. Carfax reports "Manufacturer Buyback or Lemon". If I go to my local dealer with the VIN, will he be willing or able to pull up the records on the car so I can find out why it was bought back. Common sense tells me to avoid it already but I just wanted to see if was recalled for something trivial or serious.

I can find out Dave, do you have the vin/stock #? My wife has direct access to all of the inventory reports, and she can call the gm to get some info on it.

Agreed. It's far nicer than the B.O.D. Challenger.

that is what i was doing when i wrecked my last car i was gonna do carbon hood, bumper, side skirts, fenders, a pillars, and hatch. i had everthing but the a pillars and hatch when i wrecked the first car. i was gonna paint the roof black the roof overlays dont fit right and you can see some of the blue near the back of the roof where it meets the hatch.

because he is >< just like nick lidstrom plays for the red wings but he is of Swedish decent so he plays with the swedish team. which is prob why they are so damn good. i think its gonna make things interesting with kobe, lebron, and CP playing against yao

I don't think it's right that he plays with them. Shouldn't he be playing for the USA since he plays in the USA and gets paid the big bucks to do so. The game has been interesting. Score right now is USA 87, China 54. 5 mins left to play.

I think it goes by birthplace or citizenship

I believe Wayne Gretzky played for Canada.

then he shouldn't get paid so much US dollars to play. If he wants to play for China, China should pay him.

That's how international sports work-- a ton of players play for teams outside their native land, but when it's time for international competition, the player represents his country.

The NBA is the pinacle of basketball-- the best paid, the best athletes, etc. For the same reason a Brasilian soccer player leaves Brasil to play in Spain/ Italy/ Germany/ etc, a foreign basketball player leaves his country to play in the NBA.
