I'd go for a 350, manual transmission, THE best SLK in the range - nearly as quick as a 55, but much more fun to drive than an automatic (but I'm biased ).
I did my homework on forum (many many infos,and all great stuff)
Judging from posts and experience with MB I have from family (grandpa is CL owner,ML is a family car), SLK is reliable car.
From consumption data I like slk200k stats....so that will be my engine of choice...
Price is around 19.000€ for 2004. SLK200K here... and that suits my budget since I have to buy car on my own,no shortcuts despite they could get me new SL )) and I'm proud I can get it on my own.
So I'll start looking for black one now.
And I have some interior plans,since I'm good with leather (kind of a hobby),but I'll think about that when I get it.
I did not have any intention to brag about anything,I'm just happy cuz here where I live people think I get everything and I do nothing all day...and I'm happy that my work is paying of now and I can get myself what I like
I'll move to another SLK topic to find info that search did not provide.
My paternal grandparents were Croatian, so that makes me 1/2 Croat, and proud of it. I wish I knew the language, but I wasn't around my grandmother much.
Welcome from Eugene, Oregon via San Diego, California! The SL is a very beautiful luxury two seater; but like Woolly says, the SLK is much more fun to drive
