1 1/2 years ago I bought a 200 (W124) year 1989 from my family and am actually satisfied with the car. When I got it, it had 140,000 original kilometers down. Now it has about 155,000 km down. What bothers me, however, are the repairs, which are of course always unexpectedly in the house. Although I look up the vehicle and regularly oil, water, tires etc. (Mercedes workshop, ATU and Free W So far, about 3,000 euros have been collected for shock absorbers, springs, crossbars, cables in the engine compartment, coolers and and and… I don’t know how to proceed and think about buying a SLK. I drive really little (about 10,000 km a year). Is that even more expensive? Sure, Mercedes driving costs money, but for the 15,000 km alone I find 3,000 euros in repairs quite a lot of money. Or is the SLK? What do you think? Switch to the SLK or stay with the W124? Greetings from Hamburg!

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!!!

Hello the roof of the slk is not powerful for me.You can only take it out with 2 people.What can I do about it? please help

Good evening from Berlin, on Wednesday my summer tyres will be taken out of hibernation. Yesterday a call from Mercedes, profile depth at slightly more than 3.2 mm. Should we order something new for you? Drive about 4-5000 km a year. Mostly city traffic. 3-4 times routes from 400-500 km. Currently LM rims with the tires 225/40 R 18 are on it. Summer. Do you have for me recommendations, what I should buy: brand, possibly also on 245 “high-armed”.???? Year of construction is 11/2007. Edition 10 , Automatic, 163 hp, shift paddle on the column, which I hardly use anyway, if it should be important. Thanks for your answers. Let’s see where I will land at the half marathon. Most probably next to the track of the broom car “picked up” My “first run”. Greeting Walter

Now I am looking for an open “pass car”, since my better half would like to have a convertible 😉 and then you also care about the PS relatively :-))). Now my question to you: Is the price ok?????

Hello, I love to fulfill a boy’s dream and buy my gift for the 50th prematurely: a Mercedes SLK. Key data: SLK 200 compressor or SLK 230 (preferably) NO automatic color: NOT silver and NOT BLACK Price: maximum 12,000, prefer less mileage: not too far over 100,000 dealer’s offer preferred (have little idea of cars, guarantee would give me a minimum of safety) This SLK:red SLK would meet the above criteria with the exception of the running leist my questions: a) Can you buy a car with this mileage without having to accept immense repairs from the outset? b) What do I have to pay attention to? c) Does someone know the dealer? Thanks Andreas

My tailgate opened more and more heavily over time. One had to lift it up in the end. At the last service with the friendly one it was said: oh ever, there have to be all the dampers out, that is a huge effort, that is expensive. So you left it. Today it got too stupid for me, am at the friendly to sell parts and see there: both parts together cost 27 EUR incl. VAT. The installation is done in 3 minutes, the things are only cracked! Now it does again like new. Int It is interesting that there are probably two numbers for the same original part: A1729800264 and A1729800464. Both look the same, the same manufacturer (Stabilus), both 400N. FAZIT: Unfortunately you sometimes get really nonsense told by the friendly one. What you can do yourself saves some clearly money.

I’ve been refueling E10 for some time and I’ve noticed that the exhaust is smoking, I’d rather refuel E5 or there are other possibilities.

Good day together, I’m pretty sure that I’ve asked this question in this forum, but I can’t find this topic in my account anymore. So the question again. I’m currently driving a SLK350 R171 MOPF. And I’m thinking of swapping it for an SLC 43 AMG. If you drive such an SLC 43 or have been possessed or driven, you can write me your experience. Are there any topics that you should consider when buying a used one? My current SLK 350 has been driving for 8 years and except for inspection and normal wear parts, I have never had any problems with this vehicle. I had already thought of buying the successor as SLK 55, but I think that the SCL 43 is more dynamic with Turbo. The SLK is my second car, mainly I drive a Golf 7 R Facelift, with which I can be sure that the SLK 43 is more dynamic with Turbo. I’m happy.

Hello, one of you has already seen Erlkönig photos of the R172 or other info`s about it…?! Mostly the first camouflaged models drive like this after the FL of the lfd. model. But I am also interested in information about the future engines (if the downsizing continues so, the new entry-level engine probably has 1.6 liters of engine capacity and about 200 hp….
