yes ive got the same model.its a 2003 old shape 230 slk.0-60 in 7.2secs .a supercharged 2.3 engine with about 195 horse power.metal folding roof is amazing but if it goes wrong in a bad way it can cost £3000 to fix.but this is rare mercedes tested the roof mechanism 10,000 times before production.most roof problems are down to microswitches sticking.mercedes servicing is a fortune so i do it myself.wife drives it most of the time she loves it.so easy to drive being an automatic and power is only a wiggle of your big toe away.most cars have had an easy life just cruising about most of the time.lucky to get 30mpg.boot is a decent size.galvanised bodies so no rust.owned for 3 years no problems so far.heated leather seats as well, bloody excellant.
