Head Turner

I am extremely happy with my SLK. This car is THE head turner, so stay away from it if you are shy. This vehicle is a perfect blend of style, performance, reliability, safety and status. The retractable hard top works perfectly and it is almost like having two cars. The trunk is surprisingly big for the size of the car. Z3s and TTs are also great cars but you see them everywhere whereas the SLK is more unique and contributes to the head-turning factor.

Watch The Roof On This Car

I have had this car for approximately 2months now, and I'm a bit disappointed. I have to say this car doesn't get as many looks as the Z3 that my sister owns. I thought the roof was one of the great things about this car until I started having trouble with it about a week after I bought it and the dealer doesn't want to fix it. It's going to cost me $850 just to get the roof working, and $350 to fix a balljoint. For as expensive as it was when it was new, I don't think it should have these problems already with only 60,000 miles on it. But I have to say I do like driving it when it's not in the shop. I just have to be careful, when the sun goes down the top doesn't come up out of the trunk.

Love my Benz

I purchased my 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 with high miles, but being as though it was a seasonal car, and I had always wanted one I made the plunge and I am happy I did. From the first day I got it I had nothing but compliments weather it be from people I know to a complete stranger passing by on the nice warm days with the top down. But that's only the start. this car has great styling and awesome fuel milage. At 92,000 miles, nothing major has gone wrong. The electrical compents went out before I got the car but the previous owner fixed it. It cost about $1,000 to fix. Other than that Its an awesome car so far.

Classy Car

I just purchased this car a couple of weeks ago with 57k miles on it and I love the style, exterior (Glacier white) and two tone (black/oyster) interior. I replaced the tires after about a week of owning it and it cut down on the road noise tremendously! This also has shocks not struts so they are easy to replace if you need to. Engine is so quiet you can't tell its running at a stop light. The convertible top is great! Like having two cars in one. Trunk is huge...I'm a realtor and I have room to place my signs in the trunk among other things. This was a lease car previously and seems like it was very well maintained. I will update in a few months of ownership.
