Mercedes SLK's

What do people think of these then? Been looking at various cars (S2000 and TT mainly) for around the 8k bracket and just noticed these. Look quite nice although the lights look a bit dated, nice interior etc.

I can imagine some big bills come with this type of car though? What are the different engine specs, anyone had any experiences with one. Seems like a good choice if I don't go down the raw S2000 route.

I thought it looked ok with the AMG kit on, but if it's going to be a rubbish drive then there's no point looking into it any further.

I considered a Z4 but I've dropped the budget as i've moved out now so as said no chance for 8k.

Looks like it's between the TT and S2000 then, quite different types of cars but the main thing letting the S2000 down is the interior for me, I know that's not what it's about but i'd still like a fairly nice place to sit.

well if the drive isn't too bland I may well go for it. Not driven one yet though. The S2000 was excellent.

I welcome suggestions! I looked at ST's before but now practicality isn't an issue so opting for a sportier car rather than a hatch.

talking of s600's one beat me pretty bad down a straight road, sounded glorious... later found out it has a v8 or something

edit: not really a fan of the mx5 styling!
