Maybe thats due some manufacturing law or something, I thought they make the same model for all continents but seems it's not like that. Thanks for the information buddy!

Sapevo era una Mazda, zero idee sul modello. Messaggio utilissimo, grazie dell'informazione 🙏🏻

It's rare here in Europe, i can't imagine in the US. I'm 100% sure you're enjoying every drive in your 968 (I've heard people says it's the nicest in Vegas 🤙🏻)

Thanks 🙏🏻

How was it for you buddy?

This was my second time this year......5 wonderful days of rally history​​@@TheWastedDriver

@jokersat sound like you have a really good time there. I'm really happy of that 🤙🏻

Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it 🤙🏻

tragedia, comuqnue mi spiace ma allo stesso tempo comprendo che volesse cambiare il genere di video e il tipo di canale e che i tutorial di GT ormai non sono più un punto focale ne tantomeno marginale del canale

Calcolando che sono stati rimossi 2 anni fa... direi che non passi spesso da queste parti 🥲

@@TheWastedDriver non tornavi nella mia home da anni mi dispiaceee

@@teo_xdcanu5813 si ha senso mi ricordo che una volta portava pure acc bei tempi quelli

@@TheWastedDriver ahahah effettivamente

Surely every car has positive and negative things but I think globally, the 55 it's damn good under a lot of aspects. Thanks for the info on the gearbox, didn't feel that when I test it, but I did't use the car in traffic (thankfully)

Hallo! May you please enlighten me on a general service of this car? How is the general maintenance and service of slk 55 amg? Does it take a lot of cash out of a pocket in replacement of certain parts that need to be replaced? This is absolutely my favourite roadster of all time and I am considering buying anyone between year model 2005 - 2015, as long as I find it in a mint condition both mechanically and physically. I must collect one of these definitely. I think you are one of the people who have massive experience with SLK 55 AMG and your enlightenment in this regard with be highly valued and appreciated.

Man you make my day! I'm super happy you liked the video and overjoyed it ignited your desire to get back to fixing yours Never give up brother, let us know when you finish that beauty 💪🏻

I agree on the fact that deserves more credit! It's an awesome car to drive, one of the most funny ones i've ever driven

I hope to drive one in the future due the fact is one of my favorite cars! I never compare the two, why did you think that?

Agree to disagree buddy 🤙🏻

It would be an honor to even be considered, when referring to SLK 55 😁 Thanks for the message buddy 🤙🏻

@@TheWastedDriver on day you in your black and me in my silver

I'm happy you liked both 🤙🏻

Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻 I tested also a Z4 (the 2.8) and i agree with you, on a long cruise i will choose hands down the 55 It's a pleasure to drive!

I'm sure you will keep it for eleven more! It's an awesome machine and i'm sure that driving it under the London sky, it's an unique experience

@@TheWastedDriver Actually, over the eleven years as a daily driver (and not garaged) it has gone from The Ratmobile to the Tatmobile. Part of me appreciates the fact that I don't have to worry about it much - I park it anywhere that's convenient and don't fret about supermarket trolleys and 'door dings'. However, I have been considering a change and a major contender has been a V8 Jaguar F-Type, but the boot space on those is ridiculous and they are substantially bigger cars externally, which is not best suited to London on a daily basis. So, I'm currently keeping my eyes open for another 171/55, with fewer miles and generally more tidy. My dream would be to find a Kleemann S8, but even a good example with headers and a re-map would grab my attention... I enjoyed your vid, by the way. I don't often get to hear the sound as a spectator outside of the car! Cheers!

@@sykotradingclosecorp You ask a very good question and it's a subject that crossed my mind when I decided to buy my 55, because I had quite a shock (many years ago now) when I bought my heart's desire Porsche 928S4. My solution was to 'ring-fence' a few thousand pounds to cover any unexpected disasters during early ownership. The good news is that my caution was not needed! Rule number one - as far as possible stay away from Mercedes main-dealers. This is true for spare parts and servicing. Find yourself a good independent specialist for things you either can't, or don't want to do yourself. However, with few exceptions, never fit non-OEM parts. I'm not sure in which country you reside, but most OEM service items can be sourced from parts specialists either in-store or mail-order. I tend to buy service items when they are on sale - such as engine oil, filters etc and keep a running inventory. For instance, I think the last OEM air filters I bought cost me £9 for the set.. MB approved 229.5 oil can always be found discounted somewhere and these engines tend to use a bit of oil as time and miles increase. It's pretty much all via worn valve seals and doesn't affect performance or emissions results. The oil is consumed mainly at wide throttle openings, so tell yourself that it's just a bit of upper cylinder lubrication, and probably a good thing. The M113 engine series have a reputation for being very robust. However, early 722.9 transmissions tend to develop a fault on the conductor plate at some point or other - but again, don't seek help from MB. Usually the fault can be repaired and the cost isn't bad when combined with a routine transmission service. Tyres don't last long if you drive it like it like it should be driven and I quickly found that it's not worth paying for high-end branded tyres, unless you just want bragging rights. On dry roads middle-shelf tyres are fine and on wet roads I slow down.. When you look to buy one of these, I highly recommend you find one which is used regularly. On the various fora that I check, it seems that quite a few problems stem from lack of regular use - especially when it comes to the vario roof. Dried seals are the bane of just about any mechanical system. The roof should cycle in either direction, smoothly, in 21 seconds. If it doesn't - be suspicious. Uneven tyre wear (especially front inner edges) tends to indicate worn suspension bushings. Not hugely expensive, but the sort of thing to look for in service records. So in summary, my 'sinking fund' for disasters was not needed at all. After a couple of years I did what I considered to be the most sensible thing with it - I used it to buy (more) shares in oil companies. The dividends offset that aforementioned average 13mpg 😄 Good luck with your search!

Yep, for me the best looking one

Happy you enjoyed the video 🤙🏻 Was a lot of fun driving this "little" monster

Ohhhhh also the Camaro is a beauty! I hope to have the possibility to test one in the future 🤙🏻

Happy you liked the video 🤙🏻 Probably you have the perfect height for this car 💪🏻

Per raggiungere un pubblico più vasto

Thanks for the message man 🤙🏻 Happy you like the video and surely you make a great choice on buying this beauty. Didn't know was also super reliable, but honestly i'm not surprised Enjoy your beautiful drive!

I'm sorry you couldn't masturbate because of my voice. There are many other RUclips channels with more suitable videos for what you are looking for 🤙🏻

You will surely enjoy your new/old car 🤙🏻 Yes, this one is completely stock

Get the supersprint x-pipe. Best mod.

@robgates4217 i will let the owner know 🤙🏻

Thanks for the information and as you said, with some change this car can be hands down better. (Even if already like that it's awesome)

Effectively if they are so similar, it makes sense to go for the N-Line (if the price is not excessively different)

Oh, also don't have traction control....

It's a nice little car, great purchase buddy 🤙🏻

Thank you for the kind words and I'm really happy you like the photography of the video. You make a great choice 5 years ago buddy, that's a great car that transmits amazing sensations in all the conditions. Ps: I agree, the V8 sing amazingly 🤙🏻

@@sykotradingclosecorp My advice if you intend to buy one of these wonderful cars is: 1. Buy the best you can afford. 2. If it is an R171 model check the condition of the rear subframe. 3. Check the air con works, a new condenser is very expensive and awkward to fit as it is behind the bumper. 4. Check for corrosion around the wheel arches as pre 2010 Mercedes corrosion protection wasn’t great. Generally they are bullet proof good gearboxes and engines. If the car has the big brakes (6 piston callipers) beware of huge replacement costs for discs and pads. If work then deduct from the asking price. Good luck getting one for yourself. They are tremendous fun.

Undervalued only because is not powerful as the others, but the value can be the double only for the driving experience that you can have with it

1L works great in this little beauty, is enough to the fun and enjoy the car 💪🏻

@@TheWastedDriver Definitely!

I didn't get the sense of the phrase man... I think I'm getting old 🥲

We will see in 2026 what they decide, but surely they have to do something big at this point

True story 😬

Happy you like it buddy 🤙🏻

Let's go man, you will love it 💪🏻

I got one in the blue colour ready in July for pick up. Auto, brand new (just test drive miles on it). I cannot wait.

Probably behind the screen look less awesome of what it is in reality But this car is and looks amazing 🤙🏻

@@TheWastedDriver Enjoy it!

He will return...

True story 😬

Sure you will find the way my friend. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day for sure 💪🏻

Enjoy that beauty for all of us my Man 💪🏻

I'm not 100% sure of what i'm saying, so please check or ask others to have the confirmation. From what i remember no, not all have it because is an optional that you have to add when you buy the car (or come with a pack, something like that) For this reason some have it and others don't. Ps: pretty sure you can buy it separately if you purchase a second hand one 🤙🏻

@@TheWastedDriver thanks a lot for answer

Surely with a manual gearbox the sensations are different, but in any case this car is amazing to drive 🤙🏻

It's pure joy on wheels
