Welcome look forward to the pics. I persuaded my daughter to buy an SLK 200 - 2010, she wanted something quicker than her 1.4 fiesta and as I was bank of Dad I had some influence. It was a car I always fancied but she appreciates it now.
Hi All,
I got the car for my 65th birthday ( it was now or never) , Its a great car and I love it - will add pictures in next few days, Its great to find like minded people who enjoy the same - looking forward to being a member of the club and enjoyng all the great news. bear with me as I find my way around
I will do the same - its a great fun car and everyone I have spoken to feels the same - can find any bad points
I would stick to dealer service to keep the stamps for such a low mileage car but use a specialist if any repair work is needed. For the SLK200, you are open to a wider market (not just the enthusiast). For the non-enthusiast, they will look for full dealership service record when you come to sell.
Hi,
The way the service plan works, when you book it they will run your number plate against their master data system. They will ask for the mileage. Based on the year, model and mileage, the system comes up with a service spec sheet. So it is better to leave it later than usual. My ATF change came up on 37,500 miles (50,000km spec) and since your car has already done 40,000 miles, I think you should be ok. So if ATF change come up on the service spec sheet then they will do it as part of your service plan i.e. it is included in the service plan and no added charge. It may be that different models have ATF at different service mileage so I don't know if it is the same for your car. They didn't mention that this was being extended to 50,000 miles in future (I didn't know whether that meant for later models or for all cars). Mine is also MY2012.
