    I have a yellow one with 15K original miles. It will be interesting to see how much this one sells for. I have same deteriorating interior and also driver side door that doesn’t always close smoothly without some slamming. I bought it with 1K miles and have driven it 14K miles in three years. It has been very reliable. Except for the roof, this car is pretty analog with manual seats etc.

    I see these and immediately start singing “Falling In Love Again” by Marlene Dietrich, which was used in advertising when the SLK/CLK debuted. My first MB was a 2001 CLK430, followed by a 2005 SLK55, both special orders and fantastic cars. Of all the MBs I have owned (14 now) the one I regret selling most is the SLK55… such a fun car, and thanks to it, I’ve had at least one AMG model in my garage ever since.

    Hi Bill; I never liked the SLK. Nice front, then ran out of ideas at the back. Great engineering though. I owned a 1999 CLK 320o in Mercedes-Benz racing silver, that's the very bright colour. You don't see many here in UK land, but nice car. Very comfortable and quick too. As always, a great video. Very entertaining but informative too.

    Bill, pretty SLK. I have a 2002 R170 SLK320 with 6-speed manual. 93K. It has been a bulletproof delight. I miss my three air-cooled 911’s but the SLK is a great substitute. More HP and torque than my 1980 911SC as well as a better power-to-weight ratio. The M112 V6 is one of MB’s best. Yeah the interior hard surfaces suck with the peeling paint. Your SLK addressed that. Great underrated cars .

    Bill, I really like this Benz for a condo car. We’re in Saint Pete and we lost the wife’s BMW 328 convertible during Morton. I promised her a new toy and this SLK looks like the right one. Just one question for you. Has any work been done to the convertible mechanism? I’ve had an SL that the seals let loose just over the drivers seat on our way to a fancy dinner. Needless to say a lap full of hydraulic fluid changed our plan. I’ve been told they go maybe 10 years before the seals let loose. And the Daltonesque windshield comment was appreciated! Let me know what’s been done on the car of you can. Thanks for making my day again!

    Thanks for this one, Bill.. You're really making up for lost time, cranking out these vids in such a smart fashion. Now.. I should have mentioned in your last video, but.. About Chris and your carbonated beverage "shrinkage" problem due to him.. I have two ideas, actually.. The first idea (and cheapest) is to get a padlock hasp and a cheap padlock and install on your refrigerator door.. It's a 5 minute job using a battery drill.. Maybe.. The other idea is to get a vintage soda pop vending machine and simply charge whatever you want for them.. If he wants one, he can buy it... And since you have the key, you have to stock it, but you also get to collect the income.. The car looks great with super low mileage for that vintage.. Good luck with that.

Plenty of people reviewing cars out there but you have the personality to make it fun every time. I always first get excited just to see there's a video posted, THEN look at what car it is. I hope that tells you something.

      Bill really has a way of making me feel frustrated and angry, as he often gets towards the end of a review!...He rambled at the beginning, but as he proceeded, the car became somewhat of an embarrassment to him, with the little nit-picky flaws showing up! By the end of the video, I was feeling like he was...irritated, and wanting the video to be done with!...HA HA!....and to me, a non-Mercedes kinda guy, that vehicle smacked of being a 90s version of the original Mustang. Maybe "sporty", but definitely NOT a "sports car"!! Bill is so REAL, and I appreciate his style.

      @tedsmart5539 early ones had a 5 speed. Trust me. Had a red 98 230 slk with a 5 speed. It was a lot of fun.

      Mechanical junk, but not as bad as Land Rover.
      Buy a GM car from the 50's to the early 70's if you want something that actually runs on a regular basis.

      @beeenn649 had a few 70s sedans. But I do not close mindedly pigeon hole myself with a mindset like that. You've obviously never driven any Benz produced prior to 2000. They were quite stout excluding the stupid decision to stick biodegradable wiring harnesses in a select few years throughout the 90s.

      @@johnfrei9057 I'm confused because I own an slk 320 I think the quality is pretty bad! So are you saying the SLK? Itself? was bad Or good quality lol.
      Bare in mind later 90's/late 00's was when imo quality went down hill so I'm interested to know if you think my car is shit quality or not because it sits bang in the middle or good/bad.

    If you're tall in the torso make sure you have enough headroom. The M112 engine (3.2L v6) is more powerful and civilised than the blower 4-cyl.
