erm, it is really up to you. Everyone has different tastes.

1) Do you want to be original and stand out from the crowd?
2) Do you like the looks?
3) Do you like the fact that it is actually a Merc SLK under the hood so it is well known to be a good engine and chassis and gearbox?
4) Do you need more than 2 seats?
5) Do you like a good compromise on performance vs looks / style and creature comforts?

good points, well had a SLK230 kommpressor a few years back and loved it, but had to sell due to down turn in the IT contractor market in the UK, but now things are on the up again.
1. yes I'm sure it would stand out, not seen many on the roads over here
2. Yes like the look
3. as said, have had an SLK
4. Well they will have to walk won't they
5. Have yet to drive or even sit in the car yet, any nice toys it comes with

I can tell you why not too. Horrible resale value,if you buy plan on owning it indefinitely. Just got a high offer of 19k U.S dollars trade in. And i have only 3000miles.They said if i had avg miles i would get around 17k at most. My sisters accord is worth more. But it costed over 10 grand less. Geez.

Can't you install a couple of jumpseats in the rear (boot) area.
