Common problems that occur on the SLK 230...

Looking more likely that I will be able to find a decent priced SLK 230. Before I do, though, I wanted to know from the forum's experience:

What problems seem most common/prominent on the 230? This is an '01 model w/the 6 speed manual transmission.

I just took Simple Green and took that nasty peeling paint off! Wow, its very beautiful virgin interrior is awesome now! That's how it was meant to be in the first place!

Anyways, I've had mine for couple months and no issues. I heard the tail lights go weird on the SLK's but I just replaced mine with the LED ones off of eBay and they work flawlessly...

I Love my little toy!
