So long as the roof only fails when fully up or fully down you've got a cracking little coupe or roadster there!

I loked at one for 30k for the wife arly last year and it was a nail - roof lining sagging, interior and exterior marked to hell and the engine warning light on. Put me off them.

The newer ones are much much better cars, not that they go for 25k mind!

From the add looks like he has been having issues with the hydraulics on the roof - perhaps not a very good sign, but then again, its 10 years old, things will bound to start going wrong.

So, you in the market for an SLK or just looking for something for the Mrs?

Very good! No, it's just a little run around for the Mrs. When we move we'll need 2 cars, but can't decide on what to get her... 2 door coupe or 4x4.

Ah, the classic Dubai stable. We ended up with both, a Grand Cherokee and a Boxster. Both great fun, and cost buttons.

Damnl I've changed my mind again.
Now thinking a 4x4 for the Mrs (seen a cracking GMC thingy for 35k). This will come in handy when she has to sneak the dog into work, and will be safer and more practical.
Then I'll px the X5 in for something I actually want...like a cheapish 911 or something with AMG on the back.

Yes, that's the plan.....for today.
