I know we have some Mercedes Benz owners, so does anyone have any experience or knowledge about the 2005 -6 era SLK55's. I must stop looking at Carsales as there are some reasonably priced low mileage examples available at the moment and I am being sorely tempted !!

I've been looking at 2008-2009 C 63's as well around the $40K mark. These are the NA engines and supposedly quite bulletproof. Havent looked at SLK's though but the 55 would be a rocketship too.sigpicPhil Lack

I drove the C63 when it was first released. An amazing car and how they got it registered with that loud but wonderful exhaust is itself a mystery. For (then) $147K it was IMO fantastic value. There is an one-owner 60,000 km one for sale this was around the $50K mark. I was talking with my long time former Mercedes Germany mechanic ( I have had a few Mercs ...) and he suggests that the 55 are outstanding cars. The C63's need careful checking as they are very expensive to maintain properly and run.
