Hi guys, been driving as my daily driver for 14 years a 2000 slk 230. I also have a 2014 c300 sport version. I am 68 years old and not sure if I should pull the trigger on a 171 slk55. My c300 is very comfortable, slk230 is very noisy in the cabin. I hear the 171 noise has improved over the 170. I know getting in and out is slow for an old guy, is the amg seat nicer in a 171 amg? (confused old guy). Oh PS: probably getting a 2021 AMG glc 43 for my young wife very soon : unrelated just a note.
should I buy a 2008 slk55 46k miles

I’m 7 and just got my 2009 SLK55. I have had 2 SLK32. The 171 has less wind and road noise.
It is even quieter than our r172.
You post threw me for a second. To be the owner of 1 of 292 SLK55 AMGs ever built at age 7 would be something. 🤪 🤪.
Congrats.
I had two R170 SLK320s and 1 R172 SKK350 and this car is so much more. Enjoy.
Yes that would be something. I’m 78 not 7.
Us old farts have to hang in there mate. I am nearly 82 and drive the wheels off my car. The smiles per mile are priceless.
79 years young
The 0.5 is critical Obi One 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪
You have that right mate. Make the best of every day and enjoy our toys. The attached picture I took last year at the Oak Bay Collector Car Festival in Oak Bay BC outside Victoria. Our MBCA chapter participates every year. The SLK55 on the left is SLicK, my car. The sign on the story across the road says it all.

Wait,are you sure there were only 292 SLK55AMGs made?
As Jeff noted I was replying to Gene Gorman in the context he, as am I, driving a 2009 MY SLK55AMG of which - according to MBC - there were 292 (Jeff has 293) built and there were only 19 imported into Canada of that model year one of which is shown on the left of the above picture.
That said a friend how has a 2006 SLK55 AMG cannot get collector plates in BC because according to the agency who controls them there were over 1900 built in MY 2006 which aligns with Lomg's data for that MY 1931 Jeff your data appears to be the US imports only but then again do I accept what MBC told me re 2009MY or Long's number of 227.
