Totally new MB owner - SLC, West Yorkshire

[EileenFiona]

I have just purchased my very first MB having traded in my ultra-rare Alfa Romeo Italia Independent and I think I made the right decision, not that Alfa owners will agree, sorry! Only had her a few days, lots to learn as there's so much to these cars it blows my mind but she is lovely, my partner a Jeep owner says it's the scariest car, speed-wise, he's ever driven

Hello and welcome
We've had 3 Alfa's, first was a 156 V6, 3 years and 35000 miles of trouble free motoring, a 916 Spider Twin Spark again 3 years and 30000 miles trouble free and one 156 I bought to break.
We were told by a mechanic friend when we were looking at an Alfa not to buy it as it will spend more time in the garage than on the road.....Ha! Prooved him wrong
We have Mercedes again now

Hi and thank you. The Alfa never let me down but things were just starting to cost and I knew it would just get worse, replaced the light clusters once and needed doing again, had repairs done on fuel tank sender unit as a hole appeared....how?? I needed a more up-to-date car and now I have one within my price range, looking forward to many trips out in her

Welcome from another SLC250d owner, to be exact its the wife car. We have had it 3 years & very pleased with it.
Previously the wife had 2 SLK200's, did about 120K miles in both of them no issues at all.

I will take some today in-between hatching ducklings lol. Also have my reg on it now, although it doesn't look like a private reg to others, it's my name to a tee

Hi Sonic, thank you for the welcome Yes my other half loves driving her and that's good to know, hoping to have a problem-free journey with her

It has given you fairly good service then the Alfa, like us, time to move them on as age creeps up on everything
All the SLK's we've had have been virtually trouble free and if the SLC is the model after then you should have no issues at all
