Currently looking at some series 1/2 SLK 200s even tho I really shouldn't... why are other cute little 2 seater cabrio roadsters with metal folding roofs so rare to find at that price racket...
Posing the question is answering it; because the quality is so-so. These things require regular maintenance and after 25 years, there's a change that the 5th owner didn't care that much.
