SLK upgrade time

[Chrishazle]

Don't discount the V6 petrol, I've just re-discovered the joy and addictive nature of the song from my SLK280, which I've not driven since early January. It has more than enough performance for our roads, the "song" is different to the deep burble of a V8, I'd suggest looking at a post-facelift R171 (2008 onwards) so you're well away from the problems of early V6 petrols.

Must it be an SLK? If I was looking for an SL500 with the 5.5 V8, this would appeal (a lot):

Time to get rid of them COVID blues.
My tonic is to sell my SLK 350 and move up to a R172 SLK 55.I have searched forum for buying advice but if any owners could post their comments,It would be appreciated.The downside is these cars are rare in classified adds.Budget wise circa £25000
