Hello to you all once again. Well, on the way back this morning, I decided to buy a late-model 2007 SLK 350 Auto with 90,000 miles for my 110,000-mile 2008 SLK 280 in PX.
For another year, I should be receiving confirmation of a successful MoT, at which point I may start collecting.
Although I can't see any inside details of that specific automobile, the car essentially seems identical on the outside to the Silver car that MikeInWimbledon uploaded a picture of.
The one I'm receiving has a bit of a "Individual" feel to it thanks to the Red Seat Belts that go with the Twin Needle machining detail on the leather trim and the feature stitching on the steering wheel.
On the R170 SLKs, these little details were collectively referred to as Designo, and they were often painted using a limited number of specialty paint finishes.
I thought that this SLK 350 Auto was just too nice to pass up.
Images coming soon!
From a 2008 SLK 280 Automatic to a 2004 SL 350 Automatic.

I brought up the seal since it's cheap and quick to change out—maybe £100. Just a heads up, I neglected to fully inspect mine and water got in. My SL R230 is a true supercar in its 55 AMG form, and I adore it for its sophistication and refinement. I tried out an SLK and found it to be too cramped for my 6-foot-2 frame; the SL, on the other hand, is very spacious.
The total cost of ownership is difficult to predict for any vehicle, but the SL, like other convertibles, has a retractable top and is thus more complex. Your automobile probably uses regular Springs and dampers for suspension, rather than costly ABC.
Problems may be avoided, if at all possible, with regular professional Indy maintenance. A major service at my neighborhood Mercedes-Benz Independent cost me around £2290 over the course of three days and included replacing the engine and gearbox mounts, oil and filters, SBC brake fluid, spark plugs (16), prop shaft coupling, supercharger, and auxiliary belts. I've owned my SL55 AMG for two years. It'should' cost you less to repair and maintain your V6. Each month I set aside a little amount for upkeep.
