SL350 or SLK350?

[Guest toycarz]

Hi Guys/Gals,

A quick intro abt myself. I am new to this forum and lately was looking for a SLK350. But recently I saw a SL350 in pretty good condition....Heart kinda moved a bit :tongue1:

The price kinda high coz the used SL350 (coming 5 yrs), topup about 20-30k can get a new SLK350 :surrender: Hope to get some advice the key difference between the two that differentiate these 2 so much in price?

Thank! :iconsalut:

Hi toycarz,

go for the new SLK350 (7G-tronic) (Brand new vs a coming to 5 years SL :banghead:). i think the present SL is not 7 G-tronic....if i am not wrong.......

happy searching......hope you get the SLK350......... :clap:

Cheers............... :rockon:

You're wrong, I'm not sure if it is an option, but my friend's SL500 has it.

Haha, did you manage to fix all the traction issues on your SLK350 after changing rims?

[Guest ACSLK]

Hi Sareve,

FL SL350 yes it is 7 G-tronic but the 04 (version) SL350 not sure it is 7 G-tronic i think only 6 G....

SL500 logically should be 7 G-tronic.......

:rockon:

I've got the 05 SL, its only got 5 gears, but I've seen other SL350s with the 7-G tronic logo on the road, which leads me to suspect that it might have been an option.

The two cars are very different cars. If u are into luxury, comfort n presence, the SL is probably a better bet. If you are a bit more aggressive by nature, can take the low ride n the bumps from the road, n dun mind getting evil looks from boy racers, then SLK is more like u. I always felt that if u are not in the market for a small (cramped) roadster, then u might wanna give SLK a miss.

On value, since u are willing to consider a 5yr SL, why not buy a 1 or 2yr old SLK n save a bundle?

I always tell pp that the K stands for 'kid'. Haha! Just my 2cts

Hi redhood,

yea, but i just got another battle scar...lol

Jeff saw it.

hes solution: change back to 225tyres

reason i like the SL more is(after i sat in yours) i feel more like a Gentleman while the SLK make me a hooligan

[Guest Sareve]

Oh man! What battle scar? Haha I'll let you drive the SL when I'm back.

Thanks man. Saw the white color 280 after my posting, not bad. The black one with AMG kit has 3 owners liow, think will give it a pass. IIRC, that 350 was on sale a while back and mileage is already near 90k, think will pass also.

Let me go check out the white one this weekend.

What are your requirements in the first place?

[Guest toycarz]

What are your requirements in the first place?

Quite simple actually 4 key requirements :

1) Able to transform in 22 seconds

2) Fast acceleration (5-6 sec century sprint)

3) AMG Body kit - I am a sucker for quad exhaust and nice big rims

4) Not too old (2 years +-) <-- Flexible if car in good condition and mileage low

Hi toycarz,

Quite simple actually 4 key requirements :

1) Able to transform in 22 seconds - SLK sure can...

2) Fast acceleration (5-6 sec century sprint) - this 1 must do some modding.....

3) AMG Body kit - I am a sucker for quad exhaust and nice big rims - no problem can always give MBM a visit...

4) Not too old (2 years +-) <-- Flexible if car in good condition and mileage low - the white SLK then on sgcarmart....

now got a 09 grey (gun metal) SLK but is a SLK200 maybe abit slow for your case but can always do Kleemann upgrade) :rockon:

Mai Tu Liao..... :clap:

cheers

Stock SLK 350 listed 0-100 is 5.5s, but real life probably a bit slower. Depending on enhancements n weight of passengers, should fit ur bill. Mine is already frighteningly fast for me.
