How much should I spend?

I recently saw a used 2001 SLK230 KOMPRESOR, with 64,000 miles (1 owner) for $22,450. I actually didn't want to buy a car that has over 40,000 miles, but since it will be my husband's weekend toy - I was willing to make a concession.

We are only interested in the 2001 due to TelAid - do you think this is a fair price??

You can probably get better if you hold out a bit. I have a 2001 SLK320 for $26k if you are interested with only 39k miles.

Cheers!

Is yours a sport or not?

Non-sport.

It comes with a plus though.... the remote vario roof from Bipes Automotive.

Unfortunately I can't afford it right now but I'm planning on buying an '01-'02 SLK320 in the future and that gives me a lot of hope as to being able to afford it when I want one.

For that same $28,000 you could have found a SLK320 in Florida. You have to shop around, but they can be found. My problem is we only want black, auto, and less than $40,000 miles

There's a dentist here giving me his SLK230 , 2001, CD changer, BLACK/Grey, 27,000 miles and in PERFECT paint and interiors and it still has factory warranty until JAN 05. He's giving it to me for $27,000 but I'm thinking about waiting for the next couple of months and buying a 2005 SLK350....still making up my mind if I should spend the extra $$$ since the SLK350 here costs around $70,000 including the state tax !!
