Sure buy one I have owned 7 Mercedes so far and they have all been good cars. Routine maintenance is a must if you want a trouble free car but I'm sure you will love it. I've always bought sedans with the exception of my SL500 and one of them was a C-class which has the same engines the SLK-class, buy the 230 Kompressor it is a 4 cylinder supercharged engine, it has very good fuel economy and its powerful. I don't know what color you are looking for but when you trade it in silver seems to be the most desirable color in the Benz line up and they are inclined to give you more money for your trade.

Yes I would, but you should also consider the Audi TT , and the Chrysler Crossfire. Pound for pound, the Crossfire is better value, and still has a prestige badge. Helped by the new 300c, Chrysler are now better thought of than a few years ago. The SLK platform also forms the basis of the Crossfire, and the engfine is Mercedes too. The TT is a better handling car than either, but is a bit common nowadays

YES! But I had problems with the AIR MASS SENSOR in my Mercedes, ask if it has been replaced as it is part of the servicing, and costs £1200+ to get fixed! It includes the ECU system (computer) engine management, and is unique to each car. The part has to be ordered relating to your chassis number, from the manufaturer.
It is something which needs doing from time to time (e.g, like you would change a cam-belt)

you will deplete your reductions to purchase the vehicle and then whilst the upkeep and restore charges come you will no longer have any money to maintain the vehicle on the line, and could ought to ask your mum and dad for help. for recurring upkeep you could assume to pay $600 for brakes, $one thousand for tires and $80 for oil adjustments. On precise of that issues will wreck down because of the fact it relatively is a 9 365 days previous automobile that has considered many winters. older German vehicles are actually not affordable to restoration. i want to propose which you are not getting the SLK or any of the vehicles you stated. you ought to look into importing a WRX from the U. S.. for $15k you may get an '04 WRX in large situation with 40,000 miles. it relatively is going to be plenty extra inexpensive to maintain on the line because of the fact it won't wreck (except you tension it like an fool)

i think you should buy CITY ROVER from your nearest rover dealer. Those cars are great to drive. they have low maintenance, lots of space inside and cherry red colour on the exterior of the car looks really cool. also they are suitable for any type of terrains to drive on.
