'01 White SLK 320 Sport
"New" owner of '01 SLK 320 Sport

Hi everyone, my wife and I are the "new" owners of a BEAUTIFUL White SLK 320 and hope to get some info/feedback on things to look out for.
Our niece owns a '03 SLK 230 with that little s/c and after my wife drove that she was hooked, but after driving the zippy V6, I was hooked and here we are.
It has 62k on the clock, the AMG wheels (which I'm told come on the sport package ) and it runs like a champ.
It has the auto, so none of that , keep both hands on the wheel and go baby!

Soooo, if anyone has any info on things to take care of and look out for, please give a shout out.

Thanks,

Keith

Are you going to post some pics? I would listen for the cats to start rattling based on my recent exhaust replacement with under 30K miles on my SLK320.
