Default mid 2000 Mercedes AMG SLK-55 (R171)


Saw one of these the other day. Same yellow color as car above. I know nothing about this car's specifics. Anyone own or ever drive one of these?

Thanks!

Never driven. Auto only. 5.4L V8 with 354hp and 0-60 in low-4s. Chick car with a manly engine.

Not a terrible car, for under $20K. Wonder how maintenance issue is...

Frequent and expensive, is my guess. Too many complicated mechanical tricks. That crazy folding roof and the two-way action trunk for examples.
