Still Great After Almost 80000 Miles

I purchased this car after my 2002 SLK had been in a terrible accident and I was able to walk away without any injuries. I loved my old car and wanted another SLK but didn't care for the new body style. I found this one on-line and purchased it from a local MB dealer and have had nothing but great service. I have an extended Mercedes warranty that will soon expire but I plan on keeping it until either this fall or sometime next year. I would love to find another low mileage used SLK with the old body style but fear they may be getting too old. I have had NO PROBLEMS with my car and will consider a new SLK Mercedes.

What a car. We bought the special edition and just love it. Our last car was a family car, when the idea of buying a two seater came up, I thought of the Nissan or BMW. After I drove the 320, that was it. Fun to drive, power to pass and a hard top. What can I say, what a great car.

very fast, i had a porsche boxster and there is no match, i like the way the boxster handle the corners, but this car is as good but with a lot more power, if you are a tall person this car is not for you, i believe 6' and under, i don't like that the cd player is in the trunk and there is a casette player in the front, i don't believe that too many people use them anymore, if you run over a hole the cd player will skip. great car.

SLK 230 '04

I have had 2 SLKs over the last 6 years and the reliability has been perfect. I wouldn't have purchased a second one if I wasn't happy with the first car. I love the fact that it has a hard top and yet is a coup in the winter when we have a lot of snow and cold. I have had no mechanical problems with mine and although it is still under the CPO warranty until 6/13/09, the only thing that had to be repaired was the inside light. Even that did not cost me a penny. I love the car, the looks and the way it handles. I understand that the newer body style is a better handling car and will probably purchase a new one in about 16 months but for now I am very happy.

I have now owned my car for over 31/2 years and it has 125k miles on it. I purchased the car in Nov. of 2006 and at the time it had 16K miles. I have now put over 109K miles on it and nothing has ever gpone wrong or prevented me from getting where I had to go. I have serviced it on a regular basis and it has performed very well. The reason I bought the 2004 SLK in 2006 was because my 2002 SLK was hit by another car and I wanted a new one but didn't like the body style of the 2005-2006 model. I remain very happy with my SLK and await the next body style when I will most likely get another SLK. Robert Portney, MD
