  1.  @boerboel7777  Actually, I have had a change of heart. It will not be my last car. I plan to find a decent r171 SLK 55 AMG, and that WILL be my last car. They are overpriced though. I am 70 years old. Want to die happy, if you know what I mean!

  2. Every car has its gremlins, but I love my r171 SLK 350. Had an r170 230 before this, which I also loved but rust problems forced me to sell it. This one had an irritating rattle which turned out to be the boot lid. A few adjustments and it's fine now. The suspension is a little hard for Bristol's terrible roads but it's ok on the A roads and motorway. Plenty fast for me, as I don't want to race the boy racers around here, ( although I could leave most of them standing!) and it's nice to know that it has the acceleration to overtake when I need to. I love the styling, love all the extras, and I just love driving with the roof down. This is my last car and I shall enjoy every minute that I spend in it.

  5. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the interior of the R171 slk. Yes, there is plastic (What car doesn't have plastic) but it is stylish and doesn't look cheap and nasty. I don't like the all-black interior that lots of silks have but mine is beige and black and I really like it. This car holds its own against most modern cars for style and performance, it is a very aesthetically pleasing car. It has a hard sports suspension so yes it doesn't ride bumps or rough roads that well but that is just how it is. I love mine to bits.

  6.  @alexamorin5534  I am waiting to buy a 55 AMG. I have a 350 at the moment. You either love or hate SLKs, I love them, and once you fall in love you want the best, the most powerful and that is why I must have a 55. They are overpriced, and they are costly to run but if you can afford one, get the 55 because if you don't you will be craving one. The 350 is a great car however and if you are doing lots of miles to work or whatever you may find that the fuel costs are too high with the 55. I am an older guy, I work part-time and it takes me ten minutes to get to work. I won't be piling on the mileage and so I'm not concerned with the fuel costs. If you do get a 55 get a 2005 or earlier because the road tax doubles after that. Follow your gut mate, I always do. My advice is to join an SLK forum online. good luck!

  7. The slk 55 is so much more pleasing to the eye than the sl 55.

  8. I have an r171 350, I love it but I will buy a 55 when I can find a good one at a reasonable price.
