R170 SLK reliability -- better info
I wanted more up-to-date auto reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now reports absolute repair rates that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, to track cars closely as they age.
Currently the Z3 / Z4, Boxster, and TT are in the survey, but not the SLK because fewer owners are signed up to participate.
Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.
To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the SLK, free of charge.

Updated results recently posted for the C, E, and GL. Also some for the TT and Boxster. Hopefully we'll be able to also include the SLK soon.

Thank you for putting a word in. Still trying to get the SLK into the survey--a matter of getting enough owners involved.

Recently enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record.

Updated stats for the Z3, Boxster, and TT later this month. Looking forward to also reporting on the SLK, but continue to need more owners to help make this happen.
