I have owned my 97 R170 for over eighteen months now. I liked it then and like it even more now, especially as you don't see too many about these days. It is very much a 'feel good' car.

[@stevensfourwheels]

Agreed, I’m glad to hear a fellow SLK owner enjoying the car as much as I do! Thanks for watching 👍

[@carfella7994]

Just sold my SLK320, great cars the R170 in general

[@carfella7994]

Yeah I agree

[@stevensfourwheels]

They are great cars and very underrated. I was out in mine today and loved it 👍

[@boothbarmy1882]

Got one a couple of months ago, paid £1k with a years MOT and apart from a little rust arohnd the wheel arches and a scruffy interior ita great. Hard to believe you can buy them for such little money

[@stevensfourwheels]

That sounds great. Let me know how you get on sorting your SLK out. They are such great value for money 👍

[@Rofasta]

There will be more trust I promise😂

[@eddiearies]

You are literally Merc Man!

[@stevensfourwheels]

Thanks Eddie! Glad you’re enjoying the content 👍

[@farhan.882]

They truly are great cars. I have a 1998 230K fully specced in great condition for sale down in Sussex if anyone is interested

[@stevensfourwheels]

Glad to hear that you love the SLK as well.

[@farhan.882]

@@stevensfourwheels yeah sad to let it go especially it being my first car but I have no where to store it and need something more practical. Wish I could keep it as a runaround :(

[@stevensfourwheels]

Well hopefully it goes to a good owner.

[@SuperSahil98]

For how much, let me know

Had my SLK320 for 2 years. Been loving it right up to now as I have 'start error' on the dash and an engine that wont crank or turnover lol....immobilser I think

[@stevensfourwheels]

Well I’m glad you’ve been enjoying your 320 up until this point. Hope you get the issue sorted soon. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Rofasta]

Probably the DAS There is s company on the UK that can bypass them.

[@ericwright8498]

@Rofasta Great thank you! Do you have the name of this company?

[@mick0905]

Does the radiator fan start up too even though the engine is cold? Had a similar issue with mine due to the common K40 relay problem. Easy and cheap fix if it's that.

[@ericwright8498]

@mick0905 Hi, thanks for input....the radiator fan does not start up though no

[@Rofasta]

Why are they not appreciated? Well they rust badly if driven on salty roads. Some parts, critical ones, are NLA from Mercedes. Just adds to the challenge 😅

[@stevensfourwheels]

It’s all part of the challenge of owning an older car 👍
