Mechnical problem with my trunk

Great car to drive or show-off around town, except a few issues w/ my truck. It is not the size, but had problem opening it when it is hot...think it is a mechanical issue...also read complains from other owners. The problem can be resolved by moving the roof (open or close) so the trunk will open up..but not exact Merc's quality.

I feel very fortunate to have this car. It is so fun to drive. I bought it used and the Starmark extended warranty as well, so I have 6 yrs of warranty left on it. Paint job is not as smooth as it should be. Minor problem with the trunk opening. But other than that, the car has been perfect. I cannot conceive having or wanting any other car. I plan on having it for many years to come.

Fun...But...

Let me start by saying how much I love my 320. Looks sleek, nice handling. Over all a beautiful car. I got a really great price for it $16,000 off the orignal sticker price. I've had it a year and have put about 3,000 miles on it. However there are a few annoyances I've had with it. For starters the driver side window leaks so forget about taking it thru the car wash unless you want to get drenched. Sometimes the trunk doesn't stay open. My mom almost got her head sliced off taking the groceries out. The retractable hard top has been fixed 2x. And the biggest pain, The brake light continually goes out. Other than that everything is ok. I get a a lot of compliments and head turns.

We've owned MBZ's since 1986 and this is the most enjoyable of all. Like the hardtop convertible for driving in all types of weather in the NW. We swapped our '37 Ford streetrod for our SLK. It's much more practical and we drive it more. We've had no problems and enjoy every moment of driving, plus there's no room for the kids and dogs. MBZ did a great job of design and performance.

This is the perfect car in town or on the highway. She acts like she has velcro on her feet in the rain. I would have to take some 'real' driving lessons to fully use her capabilities.
