Used 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK for Sale near Los Angeles, CA

I owned a 1999 SLK and enjoyed every minute of the drive. Its perfect for the Portland traffic, has plenty of power to play with any car on the road. Minor issues with the retractable hard top but no problems with the drivetrain. Added a stage 11 performance chip and the inline 4 cylinder outperformed many 6-8 cylinder cars.

For the past 30+ years, starting in high school, I was a Brit car guy. I've had an MGA, Cortina, Lotus and a Spitfire. They were all fun cars, some even very comptetitive, but all were tempermental. I finally got tired of spending more time under the car, than in it, so I sold the Spitfire. to replace it and become my daily driver, I found a beautiful 99 SLK and re-discovered what a fun drive could be. The car is responsive, nimble, comfortable in any weather, and reliable! Being a hard top convertable, I drive it year round and enjoy it every day. It's big enough to cruise the super highways, small enough to be fun on the twisty side roads, and who doesn't love a convertable in the sun shine.

I love the speed, the hard convertible top, and the look of my lil car :-) She accelerates very fast and shifts gears extremely smoothly. The only problem I have is with the interior console area-the leather/paint is chipping off. But overall, I have had no problems at all with this car. It is extremely fun to drive and every time I take it out I get compliments and it definitely turns heads. I love German engineering.

Fun and easy to drive, cheap and easy to maintain. It has a easy to open top and has lots of space for luggage compared to other roadsters in it's class, even with the top down. I would and will buy another in the future.

Great value, handles like nothing I have ever had before including my Corvette!
