Great little car

I love my Mercedes. I’ve had it since 2011. I try to maintain it. It is a fun car to drive even for an elderly person such as myself. It does not get the best gas mileage, but that doesn’t bother me.

Love This Little Car

Being a woman, I name everything including my cars. His name is Zeke and he is a 1998 that I received in 1997 so he's getting up there in age. He only has a little over 37K original miles because I've babied him as I also had a regular car and didn't drive him too much because I thought one day, he'd be worth a lot of money. He is now with me for 25 yrs. and still takes the majority of cars on the road. I love him.

BEST AUTO REPAIR EVER...THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

State Tire and Automotive is one of the BEST garages with outstanding mechanics. I have a 22 yr. old M.B. SLK and because he is garaged in the winter and not driven, I never realized what damage I was doing. He actually broke down in NY's Holland Tunnel from over-heating. He was in a garage there for 2 weeks and 2 times when I was told the car was ready, I never made it through the Holland Tunnel as it was still over heating. When I finally drove the car to head home, the check engine light came on and now it had to go into another garage. Meanwhile, I was on the phone with Anthony, the manager of State Tire & Automotive in Forked River, NJ a number of times for advice, which he gladly gave. After another week in the 2nd garage, I finally drove the car the rest of the way to State Tire & Auto because I didn't trust the workmanship previously done. I then took the car to State Tire & Auto, spoke with Anthony about have the entire car looked over as I now had a coolant light going on. He had one of his highly experienced mechanics check the car out and run tests. They found that one of the newly installed hoses was not clamped nor was the fluids topped off at either of the previous 2 garages. It took Anthony and his team to resolve the last of the problems and I was floored when I got their bill! Never have I had such a low charge to fix any car since I was in my 20's.. They did an excellent job and they are the only garage I will do business with while in this area which is about 7 months out of the year. KUDOS TO ANTHONY AND HIS TEAM OF EXTRAORDINARY MECHANICS. THANK YOU ALL!!!

Best "convertible" I have owned

My Mercedes 1998 Slk230 Kompressor retractable hardtop is my dream convertible. Hardtop retraction operation is quick and smooth. Handling is assured. Not recommended for icey/snowy road conditions, otherwise, a year round snug convertible,

Great Little 2-Seater with Style & SPEED!

I love this car. It has great lines, rumbles like the old muscle cars when you hit the gas and the Kompressor kicks in and it's fun to drive. The 15 second transition to turn your hardtop into a convertible is a push of a button. I waited 18 months for this car while it was in production and it's now 20 years later and it looks like it did the day I brought it home.

She is a good car.

Honesty is the best policy, that is what the German engineers admit and show to the world, so they have number one public safe cars on the roads.
