Insurance: 35% sfk19 I pay 42euro in the month for full cash. Fuel consumption….city traffic 12-14liter…autobahn you can come on 10 liters,,,, but even after 500km have empty the tank…that means 70liter that is 14 liters sprit if you run the car so properly…I had an average speed of 130km/h….on the a6 down to the a5 to basel….and it also had traffic….tank was empty exactly after 501km: tax in the year still approx.240euro inspections si And not to be seen every year, but after driving kilometers…that is, the one has the same in the year of the other in 1.5 or 2 years…so not as expensive as you think…I paid 850 euros for the last inspection …there was oil change filter air conditioning filling and what is so part of the inspection…I think that goes in order for such a car…loss of value is certainly also there at slk, but he has a very high reselling value….is in many magazines and te so stated also at the adac. mature you should buy yourself once good and that will certainly hold one to 2 years or more if you only drive in the summer…. you buy cheap… you just need twice as much and not get away cheaper. At the 350 you should think about it because of the winter tires or better you should know that you can only alufelgen on it and only from size 225….also that makes the 350 certainly a little more expensive than the 200….all in all I would say it As I said, it depends on how much percentage and sfk you have and then I pay less with the 350 than some others with the 200s….By the way, it also depends on the insurance company….zb…with alliance I get a discount that I only get because I work in chemistry….ask me no one why…they do it so…I have already asked why, they said that is from above so…presumably one thinks that the chemical worker is the better payer or something… Of course, the spare parts of the 350 are certainly more expensive than the 200s, but that’s probably clear..or!!!
