Introduction

Buying an AMG anything makes no logical sense. But if you want standard models pushed to their extremes this is what Mercedes does. Think Porsche Turbo,BMW M5, the Audi RS's. They don't make everyday sense, but they don't make too many and they sell out. There are just enough of us out there!

Why the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK?

Why Not the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK?

Price or payments

Like every Mercedes,expensive. You really have to appreciate AMG and the excusivity.

Handling

It has plenty of computer safe guards but using the torque is an adventure.

Warranty, maintenance cost

Maintenance, like all German brands is ridiculous. But to make the best use of the warranty, better safe than in litigation.

Conclusion

If this car is in the budget, try it before you buy a Boxter S or an Audi TTS. They are all great but really different.
