Love our SLK 350 hardtop convertible.
Even though the car is 13 years old it runs like a new car. We make sure it is maintained properly and all the necessary services are undertaken. We haven't had any major issues, a couple of small lights replacements and regular service. We really enjoy the hardtop convertible feature and use it on a daily basis.

It is a stylish car that drives really well and has not had any serious mechanical issues so far.
I love my car because it looks good and it drives well. I love that it is convertible and sporty. I wish that it had all the gadgets that newer models have.

With great class comes great responsibility.'.
Replacement parts can be experience simply because of labor, usually if there is a mechanical complication with your vehicle. Hell, a simple jumpstart could mess up your slk if you do not know what you are doing. And that is just the battery, prepare to maybe pay a pretty penny for maintenance.

Keep up on maintenance of car.
I like the sportiness of the car. Gas mileage is good. Do not like costly repairs of foreign vehicle.
