Greetings to everybody,
This will be my inaugural Mercedes, so I seek recommendations, tips, guidance, and pricing parameters, if you please.
My wife and I currently possess a vehicle, hence we are seeking a suitable, semi-sporty convertible as a secondary car, specifically interested in the aesthetic of the 2005-2010 SLK or CLK 200.
This category of vehicle appears to be enjoyable while being cost-effective.
Preferably, fewer than 75,000 miles and a maximum budget of £3,000 for a 2009 or 2010 model.
Several listings have appeared on eBay, although at far higher prices (about £4,000 to £4,500).Do you believe my budget is unrealistic? I found an appealing SLK 200 on eBay, depicted in the accompanying image, in burgundy red; however, it is priced at £4500.I proposed £3,000 and a swift transaction, but they declined.
Should I revise my budget or my expectations?
Autotrader has not presented any viable options either.It is possible that the current season is not conducive for individuals to sell convertibles, resulting in a lack of listings. Is it really a matter of waiting and observing?
I examined the classifieds here; however, there were no listings, regrettably.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
