First shape SLK: Any good?
Discussion
Morning All,
Currently looking to change my car for a convertible (no reason why, just fancy another)
Ignoring the obvious MX5, I tend to steer away from the norm and find something a bit different. With a budget of £2500 tops it can prove difficult!
I came across a few of the old SLK's last night and was wondering what people opinions were of them?
Obviously they're not an out and out sports car as the majority are automatic, would try my best for a manual but they seem to be few and far between, engine wise i woukd try for the 320 but the 230 seems to be within budget better.
Anyone had any experiences with these in the past?
Any help greatly appreciated, Thanks Very Much!

Thanks for all the responses guys.
Another factor in favour for them is they are pretty cheap to insure at my age as well(20).
I know its not the most exciting car in the world but they look good, can drop the roof and there's enough poke there to make light work of a long trip.
Would most people recommend them as a pose to a z3 of that era and price?
My daily drive consists of 5 miles getting on the motorway then a quick 10 minute blast on the motorway.
Currently have an rx8, which I love, but having already crashed my previous one, I feel like I am one wet roundabout away from a write off!

I remember a post a while ago about someone who got an RX8 and then a few days after wrapped it around a lamp post? Was that you?! Nice to see you bought another! 
yes it was ! crashed a 192 model, so did the sensible thing and bought the 231 model!
thankfully lasted more than 4 days...
