Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class

Meanwhile Mike is setting off in his car as Simon makes one last attempt to wrest the glass from him.

Mike tells him to fuck off and sets his Mercedes SLK homeward.

On the way, he encounters none other than Alison, who has emerged onto the road.

Mike likes what he sees, the randy goat.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think maybe the last one could have been that Chrysler Crossfire, which was essentially a Mercedes-Benz SLK from earlier in the century.

Yeah, although that spent a lot of time in the Chrysler system trying to learn how to make it not too Mercedes.

They didn't want to threaten the parent brand.

I remember, so I had a, a similar thing.

Young, young guy, first business, and business was doing well, and, uh, mine was a, uh, yellow Mercedes SLK.

I wanted a yellow...

I don't know why.

I was, uh, I was going through a bit of a phase.

Anyway, yellow Mercedes SLK.

And I remember, um, going to the Brisbane Mercedes dealership in, um, in the Valley, and going in there and sitting in the car and going for a test drive-

Yeah

So for an MX-5, £1,500 that you can all enjoy all summer, boom, that's a bargain.

Bargain number two, SLK.

I love these cars.

My bargain price would be below $5,000, but let's say pay $5,000.

But that's why I'd try and find the bargain.

There are lots of Mercedes under £5,000.

But an SLK is something that you can enjoy.

Use it.

60 is... 5.4 seconds.

I can't, because, annoyingly, I've got a Mercedes SLK, SLK 350, and that also does not cost 60,000.

My mileage is 56,000.

Oh, 31!

Hello

SLK's coming back

So far, yes

Oh, that's...

Uh, so yeah, they're, they're junk, but they're a whole lot of fun.

We, uh, we bought an SLK, an Audi TT, and a old, old Supra, and drove them from Hoobie's house in Kansas all the way down to Galveston, and then I drove my, the TT into the Galveston Bay.

And, uh, and it drove right out, and I drove it home in 14 hours.

So it's, uh, the-- You can make them last sometimes, but not always.

Right.

So 2015 Mercedes SLK 2.1, SLK 250 CDI.

0-60 time? 0-60 time is 6.7 seconds.

Teague, I've got a bunch of choices that can beat that.
