to get or not to get?
Ok i'll make this brief
I'm considering purchasing a new car and the SLK350 or SLK55 is very tempting. But the factor is we already have a SL500 (03), S500 (01) and a 7 seater MPV.
I personally want a small medium sized car that is for myself , as the above cars are my parents, but the idea of having another 2 seater seems a bit selfish. So now im thinking whether to get an E class or SLK. Both I like a lot, and both provides different adavantages. Any suggestions?

age 25
The SL500 has been "hijacked" by my sister... she sorta takes the newest car out all the time. Biatch ( yeah a little bit os sibling rivalry here
)
that's why I want to pay for my own car so she has no rights to drive it..
The E class is growing on me, but i think i'd go for the E320.

Nah, go with the SLK55 - are you nuts man!!!! There is no shame in automotive selfishness. I am no damn taxi! Get your own ride. And by the way eat my dust, as you zoom-zoom away with pure German muscle behind you. Having driven an E55 how can you not lust after the SLK55. My mind is made up, now where do I sign ... 
Have you guys seen the Cadillac commercial where the guy does a doughnut and stops, waits a few seconds before the sound catches up with him and the last thing you hear him say is "Wow!!!" Now imagine that happening in real life and you know what it should be like to drive an AMG V8, on a car the size and weight of an SLK for that matter. Let's not forget the sound the beast makes - I should stop now before I wet myself with joygasms, man, I can't wait to upgrade!!

You live with your parents still. And wait, if your sister gets the SL more than you do, that means shes older, so ur 25 and shes over 25. So young adults still living under mommy and daddy's roof.
Go for the SLK 55 AMG Get all the packages except wood trim and make sure you get your name on the car so your "biaotch" sister doesn't take it.

it's not unusual to live with parents in our culture. I had the choice to move out or stay with them. And i chose to live with my parents even if i get married (my fiance has agreed to already). I dont see a problem with that nor do i think living with parents at age 25 is any thing to be ashamed of. I would take care of my parents until they are old and i hope my children will do the same.
The car is already under my name since the money is coming outta my pocket. Unlike some 16yr olds. But i'd also let my sister use it when im away for work. There is something called "SHARING" didnt they teach that in highschool?
As for the SLK55- it would be nice to have a nice little sports car. But as we have the SL there's no point in buying something that's similar but even smaller. The Cayenne is more useful hauling the dogs around and kids if we plan to have any in the near future.

BlackSL,
You obviously have very fine values. I lived with my parents until I was 30. I saved a lot and bought my own house with a 50% down payment. By the time I got married, I had the mortgage paid off. Life has been very easy for me. My father could have easily bought me a car when I was younger but chose not to. "Thanks Dad".
