Huh? Sorry for being blunt, but that's a ridiculous comment. The little 2.3 makes 190hp and in the SLK chassis will suck the headlights out of your 560. Come to think of it, the 2.3L aspro C-Class sedan will keep up with the 560SEL...

You are confused. It's an SLK, not a CLK. Very different cars.

Actually, buying the entry level model, especially when buying new, can be a very prudent move. Look at the W126 SEL cars. When new, the 560SEL was a great deal more expensive than the 420SEL or 300SEL. Today, as used cars, the 560SEL's barely sell for more than their "lesser" models. The original owner took a bigger bath on depreciation.
An SLK is not for everyone. It has only two seats and a small trunk. But, they handle VERY well, and the ride quality is better than one would ever think with such a small car. The body structure is rock solid, and is tight when the top is down. The folding clamshell hardtop makes it a true four season roadster.
