SLK55 buyer’s guide

Agree the front of the 171 does look better/more iconic. Shame they didn't stick with the theme.

Everything else though, the 172 does it for me (although no doubt i'm 100% biased!!).

The only car that tempts me to move on from mine is the AMG GTC but unfortunately that's probably a bit too ££rich for me.

ah, AMG GTC, a whole other level :-)
nice cars, a bit long bonnet, prices are good for the year ad some special editions for the same money if you watch them.

but... I'm looking for a GT R, sadly those prices creep up instead of going down when still pretty new...
I thought, this would be my year with starting prices 100k in Germany, then to NL still about 18k tax on them.

but what happened? they start at around 129k but a lot 149k and higher, when in 2020 the cheapest were around 119k with also low km.

Mine is nearly 6 now. Wow, where does the time go??!!

I enjoyed that. Your manner of speaking reminded me of Shakey Byrne (BSB rider), not from sheerness are you?!

Thanks for the guide.

Very much thinking of one of these. Private sales from enthusiasts seem thin on the ground (the one in the PH classifieds has been snapped up).

I guess it may be a while!

I bought something else but when I was looking snippersgate definitely seem to get nice ones in fairly regularly
