Hi every1. as i have said in the heading, i am new to this forum and apart from saying hello i would also like to ask some questions.
1) Am i correct in thinking the 1996 on SLK 320 is a group 16 if bought after 2002?
2) For those of you that have driven a few do you prefer the auto or manual? the auto 0-60 is a fraction quicker at 6.7 seconds, but does it feel better? i have never had an automatic car for myself because when i like to drive hard i always prefer the manual for picking up speed and slowing down too.
3) Are they reliable strong cars? any mojor problems?
4) would the 230k be a better option as theres not much between them?

Thanks for any help.
