I have not owned a convertible since I was a teenager. I have owned this car since 2015 and still love driving it. It still looks like new, drives like new and feels like new. I am the second owner. The first owner had a little scrape on the driver fender as he was coming into the garage. Well, guess what, my cat ran in front of me as I was pulling into the garage and I put a small scrape on the passenger fender. Unfortunately, our insurance companies classified these scrapes as "accidents", so there goes part of the value on my beautiful car. If I hadn't told you this, you would see the car looks as good as new. I get compliments on the car every time I take it our for a run. It still looks and performs as if it were new. LOVE this little car. Wish I could have found it sooner. Great news. Mercedes just extended their warranty for this car model years 2012-2015, 120K miles or 10 years from date of purchase. No extra cost.

Fun to drive

Fun to drive, but with a few flaws. Reliability of electrical components has been less than satisfactory. Also, it goes through rear tires extremely quickly. I drive in a spirited manner, but certainly not aggressively. Not sure if I would buy again.

I love my 2013 SLK250

I bought this car used and had it for a month now. It is a great car with good power and handling. My other car is a 2011 BMW 535xi. This hardtop convertible is just what I needed for summer months. I hope it holds well. I actually like to driver interface, controls and navigation better than those of BMW.

Fun/sporting. A delight to owner, driver and DIY

Took delivery last summer of my extra clean 2013 SLK250, 123K, white. Everything works. New tires, brake pads & rotors, shocks & Struts, major engine tune up, engine flush, (then use 15w50), auto-trans flush, detailed cleaning . . . oh but the reward is wonderful. A head turning car, a true sporting activity. My little jet fighter. Value has gone up. Parts are easy to obtain and reasonable. DIYers will love it. Easy car to love. A pure MB design. The fun is in the roadability.

Never driven in snow or salt as I don't know how well it would do. New rear tires (had a nail in one).service maintained by Mercedes dealer in Gainesville, Fl. Love how the hard top automatically folds down into the back!! Bought the car as it was the show car on the floor in two different Mercedes Delerships. Not 100% sure of the color. May be a custom color..dark silver with a hint of dark blue. Car is washed,waxed, and babied on a regular basis. Never driven on poor road conditions ( pot holes) dirt roads and the like.
