Hello, I would like to buy the SLK R171 as an annual car in April. Now, of course, I think about which machine I choose. I am absolutely aware that nothing about the sound of a 6 cylinder. I also see the following disadvantages with the 280: – purchase more expensive – insurance more expensive – taxes for 3.000 cm3 instead of for 1800 cm3 – approx. 3 liters extra consumption on 100 km – inspections more expensive Of course, many think now – either you have the money for a 280 or nic I wonder, however, if the extra costs for the comparison to the 200K are really worthwhile. I think that the car with 163 hp also comes from the spot and certainly does not sound totally embarrassing. How are your thoughts? Who drives one of these machines from you and has perhaps taken the same thought before buying it? How does the 200K really sound? I would be very pleased with the answers.
