99 SLK230 AS A SECOND CAR? Out of the subject.
I love my AMG but like to have a second one for the summer top-down cruise around for fun. What about the 99 SLK230 $11k 62k miles one owner good condition all service records,do you think that's a good buy?

Ya that's a good deal...
As you can see from my siggy pic, I personally love the R129 SLs, they are a bit more expensive but a lot more car and still give you your drop-top fix.

Also, watch out for the '93 - '95 wiring harnesses on any R129 or W140, not just the 600 either. They are known to fall apart, Mercedes built them out of bio-degradeable material as part of a "green" initiative, and I guess they started biodegrading a little faster than they planned. What idiots...you have a 6-litre V12 that is 400hp stock, and you're worrying about getting "green" with the wiring? Bahahahaha...the car already has a sasquatch-sized carbon footprint, that should have been the least of their worries...
In any event, I don't think they're really that bad to maintain, you just have to avoid the ones where the owner has been deferring maintenance for awhile. You can still some '02s on CPO, if that's your thing...
The engine and the rest of the car are rock solid. I love mine.

American's got stuffed on this as the 3.2 in Europe (called the Evo) gave 321bhp yet our E36's stayed at 240bhp. Most odd.
