Thinking of buying an SLK MK1

[twcullen]

Hi a friend of mine is really interested in buying an SLK for around the 6-7k mark. Basically he is looking for some buying advice. Is there a forum for these cars? What is the best model to buy? Should he steer clear of a manuel gear box etc any advice would be greatfully recieved!!

Shouldn't "he" be a "she" ???

Yup I agree with you there! But he's adamant it's the car for him! I read the parkers review and one comment made my laugh "the ideal footballers wives car"!

Well he has bought one! A 2001 230k in red and with a manual gearbox, 60k miles for £7000. Can anyone recommend a garage to service it in the Salisbury (Wiltshire) area please?
