I test drove a 2005 SLK350 manual with about 67.5K miles today, and noticed plenty of squeaks and creaks from the rear (my 2001 bimmer does this too). Is that normal for the age? Just concerned that it may indicate rough usage by previous owner. This is at a Ford dealer so they know nothing about the car, and have only the Carfax report to share. The roof seems to work, at least opened and closed a few times.
I suspect the rear shocks are due for replacement. Even I could make the rear of the car bounce a bit ...
The clutch and gear shifts were impressive. I am easily impressed since I drive a 2007 IS250 manual. Even hard-core Lexus fans are vocal about the fact that the manual on those are the worst ever.
