Funnest and fastest car I owned!

Car is a beast! I am upgrading to an SUV and I'm in tears! I will miss this ride! Excellent acceleration. Gorgeous body. Incredible convertible. Perfect for fun trips! This car was made in 2001, yet it still turns heads everywhere I go!

She Purr's,Roar's, 0-150mph in seconds..Like Me8)!

This Benz Roadster is the finest..fastest..and fuel effective car..on the road I am sure. Took a hair pin curve at 80 mph!! Didn't even swish!! Drove from North Salinas to Lake St in Marina in less than 5 minutes!! The Complete and total package car in My Opinion is this Mercedes 230 SLK and I AM BUYING ANOTHER ONE. ASAP..

a real work horse

bought this car in 2006 and it has been a wonderful car despite not always getting the first class care it should. Very dependable, beautiful, many compliments on it, good on fuel. Negatives: the wood panelling is horrible - peeled off and dangerous; there is a serious defect in the brake light mechanism which causes the brake lights to burn out every so often..was a Recall issue but Autobahn Motors in CA refused to fix it, claiming they were only a franchise! Not good for taking large dogs.

SLK 230 Kompressor Sport

Great little car with fantastic and agile handling. Was quick and easy to get from 70 mph to 110 mph on I-75. However, there are two problems. The interior (dash, glove box, console, and radio knobs) will degrade due to heat and UVB rays in the hot Florida sun. Also, after time, the headliner may come unglued. Another problem is with the hydraulic rams in the trunk that raise and lower the hardtop/convertible. These rams will more than likely need to be replaced. Our car has only 24,000 miles and is always garaged, but has had problems with all of the things I've mentioned above.

Janet's Roadster

I purchased the 2001 SLK 320 Roadster for my wife for our 41 wedding anniversary. She has always wanted a sports car. The Roadster is a hard top convertible in excellent condition. We are entering this Roadster in a Classic Car show at the Three Fox Vinyard in Deleplane Virginia on October 5, 2014. There will be 75 cars at this event

2001 SLK 320

With the exception of being a tight fit for a 6 fter, this is an outstanding car. I've owned BMW, Miata, TR-6. MGB. This one gets it on, corners great, and is easy on the gas. The convertible top is slick and it just makes for a fun ride.
