My partner and I are going to look at a 2014 SLK250Cdi AMG Sport shortly.
Having owned an R230 and luckily never suffered any roof leaks I was wondering if the SLK (R172) suffered in the same way. I'm aware of the mods, which I did for the R230's roof/rear window seals and regularly used Gummi Pflede and Krytox on the seals, so I would do the same on an SLK. Do SLKs suffer with a similar flaw?
Also, beside the usual checks on a used car, is there anything specific I need to look at on the SLK prior to a possible purchase?
