I'm surprised at the low prices that used SLKs are selling for. They (all models) are becoming very affordable. I purchased my used 2005 SLK 55 (low mileage, well equipped) in March 2007 at a exceptional price. Same car, with similar options, is at least 10k less today. As UK-C200 stated, expiring warranties on 2005 and 2006 model is a major factor and concern. Keep any car long enough and you face the same issue. I plan to keep my car for several more years and will pursue an extended warranty. A used vehicle is still a great option.
