Used 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Consumer Reviews
A star on every sense!
My 3rd SLK. 2005 350, 2007 280, 2007 SLK 55 AMG. What a ride! MB didn't forget a thing. Can't get into the newer styles. The McLaren look is gorgeous. Terrific performance and style.

Our 2007 Mercedes SLK 280
After replacing the battery with a proper model battery the key will not turn. The car will not start. Mercedes wants $450.00 to fix the problem. What a F'ing ripoff.

Superb Automobile
I did the research on the sports cars. I test drove this car and loved it. Superior in many ways to competition. A bargain for the horsepower and design. This car turns heads. I love it.
Missed the mark
While the SLK 280 is a fun convertible to drive, Mercedes missed the mark on a number of fine points. With top down, wind noise negates any conversation or music listening. The cup holders are poorly made and located in a position that blocks your view to the right. The weight (lack of) of the car makes it very dangerous to drive in the rain. It floats and hydroplanes in puddles. Storage is extremely limited and the glove box is filled completely with the cd-changer. Each oil change is over $300 (no options for less) and all they do is "inspect" the car and change the oil! The retractable roof worked perfectly every time and the neck scarf heater is the best feature of the car.
Great Change
A couple of months ago I purchased an SLK280. I traded in my old 2002 SLK32. I love my old car but I like the new body style and the new changes in the 2005 models. The car runs and handles great, there is a loss in power between the 2 cars about 120 horses but the new 7 speed trans. makes for some of the loss and is more fun to drive, the interior seen bigger with more legg room. Everything in the car is great, no problems up to now, the sound system with the satellite option is worth it. There is a safety problem. The hatch to open the engine compartment is located next to your left foot, A couple times getting in and out from the car I opened by mistake with my foot.
