#87 of 226 Re: Love this car!! Oil sensor problem, though [johntracker] by pfeiffer May 27, 2005 (6:33 pm)
Replying to: johntracker (May 08, 2005 4:01 am) Yes, it was definitely not the sensor. The oil level was down to minimum very quickly. They've replaced the engine now at 4000 miles, but I immediately began having serious transmission problems. It has been there all week, and they can't figure out how to fix it. The service rep. is recommending we negotiate a buyback.

Replying to: hgiles (May 20, 2005 12:11 am) Have you driven a SLK 350 manual shift? Which one (with or without the sports suspension)? I should like to know if anyone can tell the difference (i.e. is the AMG package worth the 4 grand?) Does the handling really feel better? Has anyone driven both? Thanks.

Replying to: amgnut (May 15, 2005 8:52 am) After taking the dealer shop transmission specialist for a ride in my car and then driving another identical SLK350, he agreed that there was a problem.   They took the car in on Tuesday to "play with some values" as per the factory recommendation. Apparently they found that they could not get the trans to work right. They've ordered me a new transmission and I'll hopefully get to try that out by Friday.   New problems - oil sensor is showing low oil at 4k miles. Steering seems to get heavy and groan near limits like my 1983 Camero did. Oh, and the damn thing seems to surge (but that may have been another symptom of the trans).   I'm starting to think on invoking the NJ Lemon-Law.   Stay tuned.
#91 of 226 LEASE PAYMENT 2006SLK280 AVERAGE? by kkmia Jun 14, 2005 (11:51 am)
I am going to be negotiating order of SLK280 with the options I want I figure it will be around $48,000 to $49,000. I want a 36 month lease. What would be a good money factor or interest rate and projected 3 year residual value? Is there a website that shows actual dealer invoice of what they paid for each car? Thanks for any info. Just deciding whether it is worth the savings to go for the 280 . Main reason I decided was because of the problems I read here with the 350.

Replying to: kkmia (Jun 14, 2005 11:51 am) Welcome to the Forums, kkmia! You might also want to check out the Mercedes Benz SKL: Prices Paid & Buying Experiences Forum to ask what kinds of deals others have gotten. The folks in the Lease Questions: Ask Here Forum might be able to answer your lease questions too. To see/compare invoices, go to Edmunds.com and click on "Prices, Reviews, & Information" for New Cars.   ClaireS, Host Coupes & Convertibles | Vans & Minivans
#93 of 226 Ok...this transmission sucks by cflyer Jun 14, 2005 (6:15 pm)
The dealer alledgedly replaced my 7-speed transmission last week. Now the car is doing the same thing......and other problems. Now it has trouble downshifting at higher speeds. It still shifts harshly when coming to a stop and is almost impossible in the S mode. Either they never changed the transmission out and gave me the flim-flam, the transmission is faulty by design, or I got another bad one (what are the chances).   The power steering is still making a groan (which the dealer can't seem to detect) and they had to add a quart of oil. I don't even have 5k miles on the car yet.   Anyone have a suggestion? I've had 5 other MBs and never had any problems, so I don't think it's me.
