[W126 Coupe] SLK ... MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 37, Issue 13

[Eddie]

Which SLK are you looking for?

 

I have an SLK 55, and it's a blast, the handling and acceleration is on a
different level when compared to my 560 (and that was already pretty fast
compared to stock 560s).  I was also looking at a used SL, but the handling
and acceleration is terrible compared to the SLK.  It's really a matter of
comfort vs. performance (SL vs. SLK).

 

Even the 350s are a blast.  If you are considering used cars, why not even
get a used SLK?  Some great values to be found, especially with the rumors
of a facelift for 2009 model year.

 

Take a look at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r171-slk-class/ and
slkworld.com.  There are a lot of people disappointed with new Mercedes, but
I believe the current crop is much better, it's just the service departments
that haven't caught up.  My SLK has been perfect, but my CLK has had a
couple electrical gremlins, but nothing on the scale of my grandfather's
Lexus.so YMMV.

I am in the market for a new Mercedes...and would appreciate feedback.  I
just learned that a new SLK is the same price as a 2 year old, pre-owned,
low mileage SL 500.  Given a choice, what would be the preference?  I just
sold my 2001 SLK......Thank you in advance.
