i purchased this car very used with 103,700 mileson it, but very very clean. Had a problem with the micro switches in the roof but the dealer fixed it, and it works great now. This thing moves. I can go from zero to ticket way too fast. A tad stiff for the old bones, but heck it's a sports car. Even scooting in the mountains and freeways, I got 28mpg over a 500 mi. drive. I love it.

What are great looking fun to drive car. I have owned this car since 2-02, the fit & finish is unbelieveable! I get comments almost everytime I am in contact with people when I am driving, ie fast food drive throughs, in parking lots etc... I have had some leaking issues, all handled under warranty, and a problem with exterior bulbs melting into the assemblies which once was under warranty, the other time at my expense, to the tune of 260.00! No mechanical problems however.

This is the very best car I have every owned and driven! The only flaw that needs to be mentioned is the interior "rubber/vinyl" paint finish, applied to components, peels off after long exposure with human body parts resting on it. Example the outside of your knee where it touches middle console and where your arm rests(due to body temp. & moisture). It will also chip-off, if your not careful, when fastening the seat belt as it can stike middle console as well(Mercedes-Benz please fix). Cheers!

I am loving every minute of it. The sport package is a must, as it "beefens" the look of the SLK. I am used to V-8, but the turbo picks up quick! Make sure to get an extended warranty, if possible, as MB is known for its mechanical problems. Had a defective camshaft position sensor within the first 2 weeks of ownership, but warranty covered it. Has been known to have recurring problems with the PSE pump (locks the doors and sets the alarm). Check out online forums to get a feel for potential problems of the SLK. Overall, this vehicle is sexy! You will love every minute of driving. I get stares everywhere I go, with the top up, down, and in between. Friends call it the bat-mobile.
