Okay so my girlfreind has her heart set on a SLK350 right now and I no nothing about the car. Do you guy's think this is a good car and should I be on the look out for one. She wants to pay cash so I am looking at 05 and 06 models with low models. Any input would be helpful ! Thanks

That is a bad *** chick car. I have yet to hear anything bad about them.

Well other than that she should get the 55 instead of the 350.

Thanks guys, she has driven it and is ready to buy we just need to find one that's black with red interior. She wants me to black the whole car out for her so I think this may turn into a fun project, I will keep everyone updated !

Its a terrific car make sure you get the 350, the 280 lacks torque in the low range.

Black and red is a good combination, classy and sporty. Airscarf , Bixenon and command are a must for all slk's.

Check if you have the Harmon Kardon sound system and go for a 2006, the newer the better. One thing to note is that the 2005 models had a oil consumption problem, in which they consume oil alot.

Good luck on your next purchase.

I guess I am confused... since when did we start buying cars for our GIRLFRIENDs? Won't that make your other girlfriends jealous?
