If anyone is interested, let me know. It's a def fun car to drive. I liked it better than my C55 but I no longer need a two seater

Thanks

When did you sell the C55?

Viper98912

When he upgraded to the CLS. I've always loved the SLK55, it's such an awesome little setup

Quicktwinturbo

Viper is correct .

It's really a fun car. Smooth power all the way and the sound with of V8 with the top down is a huge plus. Hope the car finds a nice new owner.

If I can't get a decent price, I just may keep it..

I like SLKs, they're just not comfortable for me to be in since they're so small. Which is why I bought the C.

On the 55 motor what tranny did you like better? The 5spd or the 7spd? please explain.

Quicktwinturbo

91RS,
Surprisingly, slk has plenty of room leg room and trunk space

MBfanatic,
This is a tough questions. 7 spd is nicer for fuel mileage and a bit more fun to drive. However, 1st gear is very short and sort of useless. Shifting is a bit quicker (I think) than regular 5 sped but I'm sure the 7 spd isn't strong as the 5 spd.

MBfinatic

What is the rpm at 60 on the 7spd? I think my C55 was at about 1700-1800.

Quicktwinturbo

Slightly above 1800. 6th and 7th gears are pretty close as well.

MBfinatic

Interesting. Is the mpg a lot better in the slk? I know its a lot smaller vehicle.

Quicktwinturbo

They are pretty similar. In the city, I think it's a bit worse but on highway its slightly better. I usually get 23-25mpg on hwy.

91RS

It might be smaller, but it weighs just as much because of the hard top.

Curb weight:

SLK55: 3420lbs.
