Question

Hi guys.

I'm currently in the market for a 1999 SLK230 /Auto. I would love to purchase a new one but you know how it is.
My question is what kind of common known problems should I be aware of when I test drive the vehicle and inspect it?

My second question is are there any performance enhancements that's available? What are the most popular choices by you guys?

By the way,,,I'm a major Newb here!!

Hope to purchase one soon!

Both of your questions have been answered before and it would be best if you did a search to find the basic info and then asked more specific questions.

Sorry, I don't want to sound like a search ****, but I'm just too lazy to keep writing the same answers.

Also, try a search on the benzworld.org SLK forum.
