2012 SLK55 Reliable?
Hi. How reliable are? My old 2005 E55 was engine/tranny reliable. But hated all the time the air suspension fails during a family trip. Or how crazy the brake pump was even I replaced the whole system.
I’m looking to a 2012 Red SLK55 with 42k miles.

No Airmatic or ABC to worry about. Only thing in these is the top. Make sure it works. These are solid straight forward cars. Get a PPI

Thanks a lot. PPIs are uncommon here. But I will check even the license plate screws.

Do you have a shop or dealer close? That way you can get it looked at before buying it.
