Thinking about buying an slk32
Hey everyone, I am trying to help my girlfriend find the perfect slk AMG and this car recently came up for sale! Just hoping to get your thoughts and opinions!

Review from looking today:
A car fax of the car, several auctions... 5 owners... Front-end collision. Radio was locked in some kind of theft mode. The little button that controls the roof popped out when I pulled up on it. Both side door handles and center console were pretty chipped up. The skinny long drawer drawer below the radio was stuck out and wouldn't lock in. Both sides of the front corner marker lights are pretty chipped up. Made a weird sound in the engine on an upshift just one time (20min test drive) CEL was on, have scheduled a PPI for tomorrow morning, but I'm a little torn. Oh yeah he said they were asking $13,995! Haha

My 2001 SLk320 had 5 owners but traceable and the minor damage was the air dam which is easy to do.
I paid $13000 CDN in April 2013 with 61000 km on it, changed all fluids, filters and belts and the car is a dream. Nappa leather looks as good as standard leather in E class cars I have owned with 2 yr of service.
Great car.
