This car has been my Wonderful Wife's primary car for about 12 years. She purchased it used with low mileage (15k) & used it 5-6 days a week to travel approximately 100 miles a day. She Loved the car yes I say loved it. Recently on her way home from work while thankfully close to home the her trusty Chariot stalled & failed to restart. When I arrived I attempted to restart the car & received a Crank no start condition. We had the vehicle towed home & I began a 12 day journey to Reignite the stalled steed. Well unfortunately after diagnosing (using a code reader & addressing the specific codes) the condition & changing several small items: gas cap, air filter, spark plugs, camshaft monitor, crankshaft monitor & checking all the fuses & a k40 computer board: I finally relinquished control & had Our Mechanic to save the day. Unfortunately he couldn't either. He decided to check the engine compression with two different meters and found little or no compression in all 4 cylinders. The only maintenance that was performed on the car in five years & 149k has been oil/filter changes & tires. This car was so reliable that even when it took its last breath it did so, Close to home & not strand my Wife in the boonies. My recommendation check the manufacturer's suggested timing chain interval & you will have a fun little ride for a long time.

Talk about a piece of junk. I've owned one for a little over a year and it's been in the shop so many times I've lost count. I thought I could count on Mercedes producing a car worth 52k but my expectations have fallen far short. Now that it's nice and hot my regulator and fan motor decided not to work. Just the latest in a string of things that have had to be repaired. I'd say they must have learned from Chrysler how to build a cheap car but the Jeep Wranger I traded in for this never went into the shop for the two years I owned it.

SLK32 AMG IS A GREAT CAR! MORE FUN TO OWN THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. I LIVE ABOVE 5,000 FT AND THE SUPERCHARGER ALLOWS THE CAR TO PERFORM LIKE IT IS AT SEA LEVEL. THE AMG BRAKES, TRANSMISSION AND STEERING TAKE THE STANDARD SLK TO A HIGHER LEVEL
