hi!

There have been other threads on this recently - try a search (and let us know if you don't find anything).

Having said that - I am selling a SLK230 that I purchased in June this year - my partner has now quit her job so we are not keeping it (we have 2 other cars).

I can send you details via PM or email if you want - its silver with black leather?

RedBull's thread (updated recently so should still be on the first page here) had a few tips.

Also take a look at the MB Owners Forum and MBClub.co.uk

As for running costs, feel free to take a look at my costs for a 1999 SLK 230K, in my profile.

Useful to read what the running costs are for any car - I suspect for my GT3 they are somewhat higher but not depreciation perhaps!

Incidentally, I almost purchased a 1969 Chevelle SS in around 1998 - I prefer the headlights to yours As most cars, this one was modified engine-wise - it was running a 402 cu inch with 750 Holly and crane cams - apparently dynoed at 460hp. In yellow with black ss stripes and no rust...the price...$8500 at that time....^^ p.s. it had a chrome Hurst shifter.....lol.....I kinda regret not buying it now.....
