Slk 55 AMG, going to buy what to look out for...

Make sure the cubby box thing between the seats can be opened. Mine has been replaced once and still plays up. It's a real pain if you need something thats in there quick. It's a known fault.

Euro car parts website lists front discs @ £502.04 for oem or £50.04 for aftermarket ?, pads seem cheap.

Has anyone used the non OEM discs? and if so were they any good.

"The Clk's are good too, not many problems there"

Just be careful the radiator is not leaking. I have just had a full gearbox rebuild because of the radiator leaking water and antifreeze into the gearbox. Apparently is a common problem with the CLK. Parts and labour are a fortune from a dealer and good indie's are rare.

These are not cars that can be run on a budget, especially if its an AMG as it is in my case.
