It is great to own one of these SLK55,s.
I think they should hold their value as well if you look at the price of the previous model.
I started off looking at the R171 SLK55 but by the time I found one I wanted it was mid 20k in price so I decided to go for the later R172 model with the more efficient engine. More modern interior.
I don't think they will lose much money over the next few years to be honest.
I did test a new SLC43 as well which I could have purchased for similar money through Carwow but I preferred the V8 engine as opposed to the V6 twin turbo of the SLC.
