Used 2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Consumer Reviews
I bought another one just like it
I bought this car in las vegas, and drove it home to northern calif. I bonded with this car..I was in love! I had it 7 months when my son decided to take it for a spin while I was out of town. He was coming down a hill at approx. 80mph..lost control on a turn, hit a brick wall, went airborn, the car spun around and hit another brick wall. All four airbags went off, the car was a totaled mess! Hardly recognizable, I was in shock when I saw it. What happened to my son? NOT A SCRATCH! I was so thankful and impressed! I think the safety of this little car speaks for itself.
One drive won me over
I have never owned a Mercedes before (Toyota, Honda and Acura) and was frankly a little skeptical that the three pointed start was really worth the premium. At any rate, while on the lot looking at another vehicle we saw the SLK and decided to take it for a spin, just for a lark. Wow! A warm summer afternoon - a twisty road by the water's edge - brilliant blue skies - let's just say we never really had a chance! It was love at first drive. 2 months later we are still blissing out each time we take it for a drive.

Terrible investment
This car sucks...I would NEVER get another MB...My convertible roof doesn't work, the dashboard is falling apart, I lost the driver's side mirror, the windshield is cracked. It's a 1999 with 98K miles on it...I'm looking to get rid of it and get something more reliable, especially since I was told by MB that it would cost approx. $2K to replace my driver's mirror.

My SLK, a huge disappointment of Mercedes.
No doubt that Chrysler had an influence on the design of this car. The parts inside the car were very cheaply made and looses its shine and color. The car is a lot of work to maintain its look and ride. I would try to get the SL class or the CLK first before buying the SLK. It's really more of a barbie doll car, definitely not a man's vehicle.

The car is amazing and gets a lot of attention. I've owned it for 4 years now and plan on keeping it for a long time. The retro look - both inside and out is timeless. Although it's terrible in snow or rain - when it's sunny out - it is my favorite car to own.
