1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, Hardtop and Softop. What more do you want?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Fantastic car. Just bought it after my previous SLK was flooded on the Isle of Man.
Has a custom interior so no paint chips problems. Entire dashboard is hand-stitched leather and AMG Bodykit, Wheels and Exhaust all around.
I love my car!
Bought from Elite Vehicles on the Isle of Man the first one and the second one. These guys have a the best after sales service you could ask for.
You don't need power in this car. Everything about it is a Merc. Treat it the respect it deserves and it will reward you for years to come. Had Mercs in the family for years and still can't justify getting anything else.
