Congrat !!! You in for a big surprised on repairs Bills. That’s the one car you never want to buy used without the warranty. A lot issues and very expensive to repairs.

I've read that the slk is less prone to expensive repairs than the sl models due to not having the hydraulic [abc] suspension, and the non superchargef 'bulletproof' v8. I realize the convert ht will be expensive if it fails.
