We're back at OffLeaseOnly, with a nice little !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . This car is a year old, and has covered just under 4,000 miles. It features a nifty color combo, a folding hardtop, a 302hp V6 engine, all the usual Mercedes toys, and the worst case of automatic-designed-to-look-like-a-manual that I've ever seen. New, this car would run at least $57,000. But for the privilege of basically having someone else break in the engine for you, you get a $17,000 discount. I, personally, like the new, non-SLR nosed SLK, and cannot see why anyone would buy a brand-new one when this car is available. But I want to know what you think? Is this a great deal on a great little luxury sports car? Or would you not pay even a dime for a fashion accessory convertible with an auto box?

Yeah, that's an automatic shifter. At least it isn't a column shifter, which a lot of Benzes seem to be equipped with.

They seem like fun little cars. I don't care for the nose on the 2nd gen though. Reminds me of this:

Other than that, I like it!

I've never been much of an SLK fan. The proportions have always been off to me. It just looks ungainly.

So for me, CP. Because I'd never get an SLK.

I don't hate it, the long nose of the car looks pretty good in person and the price drop is impressive. Not something I'd drive but someone would enjoy it.
