Hi all,
the next week I take finally a 1999 slk 230. What to pay attention to before I pick up the car?
soon Francesco!

Look on the C-pillar for a spot where the paint is missing because it rubs on the trunk liner when the roof is down. If the car has two-tone interior, look for peeling/chipping of the colored pieces.

When you put the roof up, make sure the smaller windows close all the way....
