I bought one similar to this one. It has 250;000 kilos on the clock . As an 80 year old guy I bought it as a project to keep me busy and to try and make it spotless. I am surprised at the car and enjoy working on it. The only problem is that the plastic parts had became very brittle and is prone to breaking even when a screw is removed. The cost though of replacing anything on the car is extremely expensive in South Africa .I intend using it a toy which will be used only on special short trips.
Same problem with my 1994 SL500 R129. Vanity lights, sunvisors and top plastic parts are falling apart and very expensive in Australia too.
It's not a brand new car, Sir. That motor is superb. German engineering is the best I also bought one recently. Working on it. Nice video. Vetri South Africa 🙏🇿🇦🙏
I agree 👍
It will make a sense everytime anytime.
👍
I got my 04 slk 320 last year . So much fun . Beach 🏝️ cruiser
Very good choice, enjoy the ride 😉
It is a nice and sporty car. Engine is mostly flawless... the fenders and rust are the biggest problems. The roof and Electrics sometimes. But.... it has tons of charm... do yes i would buy one... only silver metallic with red interior...
Thanks for Watching...:)
Certainly I wouldn’t buy particular you that one that is not being taken care of it very good it’s a good car just you’ll have to service it maintain it and bit spent for it I wonder if that is being imported from Japan if so in Japan it’s hard to find that low grade I have one from Japan is 22 years old everything is spotless no rust at all it is 2000 but is absolutely fun car to driveThanks have fun cheers
I have a 2001 SLK320 with 65K miles. Mostly love the car but it has issues. The engine is bulletproof, the retractable hard top is really cool, but good lord the interior plastics are horrible. Every single part (yes, all of them) on the dash and console are cracked in multiple places. I am replacing them as I can but parts are hard to find and expensive when you do. Heard MB used some experimental resin blend on these R170 cars. One guy said his is like the whole interior is made of thin sheets of cold wax. Wish I could fab suitable replacement parts. Otherwise the car is a beast. Very powerful and a blast to drive.
I agree and glad you don’t have the 230K.
Tenho um também 2001 comprei em 2022 achei otima compra... Esta parado a poupar km.
Sorry, don't understand this Language...
I'd buy it if the price was right. Very nice color combo.
👍 👌
Good video! Is the 200K engine reliable?
I would say M112 V6 is a far more reliable engine ;)
That leak 5:42 is from the magnet camshaft adjuster
I have a SLK 320 6sp. I don't want to image how weak sauce this 200K with an automatic could be. I agree with the R171 statement, the interior looks too plasticky
Thanks, mate. we just mention our honest opinions and thoughts...
I'm in germany and about to look at a 1999
I am looking for one too, like to find a later year 320... (M112)
I love the color 😍 but the engine doesn’t sound good 🙄
I see one major problem with it. Steering wheel is on the wrong side.
That's a big problem:)
He's looking at a 20 year old car it ain't gonna be perfect mine isn't as good as this.
True, but when buying a car, if it has 20 small & big issues it would be much harder for most people to restore it to a good condition...
Don’t ever buy a car with mismatched tires. Immediate sign it was maintained on a low budget
Good point 👍
Bought my SLK 200K 2001 with Conti at the front and Michelin at the rear axle. So far only rust issue. But black is easy to Reprint. Changed steering damper, brake hoses, the little trunk lifters and fixed my red interior. Besides that only standard maintenance and i love to drive it.
@hansmaulwurf3831 👍 great little car ...
@@hansmaulwurf3831 different tread patterns can create a radial pull. They also will have different rolling resistances, as well as different load index.
@@BamaPewPew The "Sport" models come with different front vs. rear tires (Front: 225/45R17, Rear: 245/40R17). That might account for people buying pairs instead of a matching set of four.
Red merc....hahaha
:)
p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾ 👌
Hose are calapsed cause it's in need of a thermostat...I've had mine 4yrs 190,000 k ... incredible care love it .. simple to work on
@@alexcesario2004 And lots of really helpful CZcams repair and maintenance instructions. My 1999 ex-Japan,, over the past 10 years had only two problems: sagging headliner (reglued) and failed lighting module (soucred another from a dismantler, fiddly to replace but doable). Surprised at the state of that engine and the rust. Walk away. The drivetrain in these is almost bulletproof.
Hi Friends, please watch this video and I hope it help you in your hunt to buy a SLK mercedes, please also let me know in the comments what you like to see and hear, cheers.
You ask would you buy this car? The question is not very bright! How do you ask a question like that and not include the price.So I'll answer it as dumb as it sounds...For 4000 euros yes..for 120,000 euros no.
Good answer 👍
I have owned a 2000 yellow SLK 230 for 10 years and am selling from the uk if anyone is interested FSH and 70k miles in good cond
@@halloweenjack8683 I am looking for one, (although I admit yellow is not my first colour of choice). What part of the country are you? Me West Berks.
I live just north of Manchester, very rare colour the yellow I suspect will appreciate over the years (non on autotrader when I checked yday)
@@halloweenjack8683 great car
