SLK and SL

Dears everybody in MBworld, i'm new here.

This could be a boring question but please give me advice b4 buying !!

I'm comparing
-SLK 200K 2006 (Red with Red) In USD ( 95K )
-SL 500 2003 (Black with Beige) In USD ( 142K )

Anybody have driving both car and how is the ride ?

I love SLK because its red but is that worth adding 47K for SL500

And the SL is out of warranty, is there any problem on maintan a used SL ??

Hope people here will give me advice and very much appreciated !!

Best Regard,
Sirait (Indonesia)

Hohoho nice to see you here..

Which part of indo r u ? Me on jkt

Emm.. It's a hard choice depend on how much u want to spend, i have friends alot drive 200K with amg package is cool enough.

Mayb this will help !

200K - but less power
500 - but a bit oldies ( sory to say that but i love SL too )

All the best on your decision bro, get a test drive and you'll have the feel.

'03 SL55
I've had good luck with my 2003 SL, as have other folks on this forum. In general, though, they don't have a good reputation for reliability.

You'll spend less operating and maintaining the SLK, so it's definitely the more practical choice. However, even though the SLK is more practical, I bought the SL. Sometimes love cannot be denied.

Good luck with your decision!

Hey Sirait, tell the truth i really cant answer you, i have to be compared SL 500 with Cayman S and my decision go to SLK 55

In your case 200K is a bit less power, about maitain a used SL 500 you have to ask others in this forum.

You have any contact no, we can talk about this sometimes..

I been there before and its a hard decision, so again all the best on your decision. Peace

Its quite complicated, SLK is looks more aggresive but then they have only a used 200K here. Is there any problem occurs with your SL ??
