I bought my SLK in June of '98 and plan to keep it a long time as a weekend car. Performance is fine, handling is simply outstanding. The hardtop has been trouble free so far -- one adjustment in 2000. California traffic is heavy, so the 5-sp auto is the way to go. Luggage space with the top up is cavernous -- much better than Z3, Boxster, S2000. Most important, the car stands out -- there are tons of Z3/Boxsters in Southern CA, but SLK is rarer. If buying a used one check maintenance recs -- any Mercedes will cost a fortune if it wasn't cared for.
Just the best used car I've ever owned

I bought this 1998 Mercedes Benz Slk230 kompresso for under $3000. It had a 190000 miles on it. My friend said I was crazy for buying a car with that high mileage But I'm here to tell you this car has been great I put 30000 miles on it and it drives like a dream It's 22 years old and handles like a kid I've replaced the tires the brakes And a belt Overall maintenance is Minimum The interior has problems with peeling But I fixed it the car drives just fantastically The top works perfectly I'd never felt so safe or happy driving a car. I've driven it in horrible weather And it was a champ I can't say enough good things about this car and how much I love recommend anybody buying a Mercedes Benz as they are built well

I love this car! From day one, I fell in love with the way it looks and drive. This is one car that is definately all fun to drive. If you need a business car that makes you look great, this is it.

Neat car and fun to drive except could use a larger engine. Comfortable around town but trips of several hours or more become tedious. Retractable hard top only way to go.
Quick on the Draw

Great car - responsive, quick, head turner. Not in love with red and black interior - great on curves.
