I have a 2002 SLK 320. Just a dream.

The good: was recently rear ended by a 98 Honda at approx 45 mph. His car was a complete loss, and my SLK trunk lid was misaligned, and put a small crease in the rear quarter panel.

The bad: Cat back replaced at 30k, ignition switch needed rebuilt (not a stock item) at 70k. 1k in parts and labor. Needs more leg room than provided. I will definitely buy another one soon. Tough old bird.
