The decision came rather suddenly, but I traded my 03 Touring for a 2009 350 SLK. It was a great 10 year run but I was getting an itch for something different. I was an original pre order buyer receiving my Z the first week it was introduced in September of 2002. It was the 998th Z built and had 35000 miles when I traded it in. Thanks to all in the Z community for all the great advice and knowledge shared over the years..... .....enjoy your Z!

 

Post some pics of the SLK

 

'Grats! I agree with taryon, post pics of the SLK!

 

and post some pics of you z before you traded it in

 

Your Z must've cost quite a few pennies back in 02. Congrats on the new ride.

 

Wow, and wouldn't that be a good find for whomever ends up buying it!!! Enjoy the Merc. Nice to see you've stayed with a 350, even if it is a different brand.


They were much the same price as a new 370 is now. May have been a slight premium with the pre-orders though. VIN on mine isn't terribly far behind that.

 

enjoy the new ride. post some pics.

 

Here is the 2003 Touring just a few months ago.....

 

Here is the "new" 2009 350 SLK.........

 

sold the z and bought a crossfire?

 

^ Agreed. I'm sure its fun, but it's rather ugly. No offense.

 

That Z still looks like it just came off the showroom floor in that pic! I must agree unfortunately, not a fan of the merc.

 

Congrats and have fun!

 

that merc is for 35 year old botox yuppie moms brah, son i am dissapoint

 

Jesus, another car guy. I was gonna say t!ts or GTFO.

just teasing.

 

No offense but I would have kept the Z, it probably will give you no problems as to where a used Mercedes is a ticking time bomb

Best of luck with your car though, the new owner will be getting a very low mileage Z!

 

+1

But if you needed a change, then so be it. Good luck with the SLK and to who ever buys the Z!

 

Don't get it

 

Congrats

 

Well, how do you like it compared to the Z?
