    Mercedes SLC Forum Bit of a beast

    I was in Utah at the log cabin were Butch Cassidy grew up and a new SLK pulled into the parking lot. It looked much bigger than the SLC. The cabin seemed to have more room. It was a great looking vehicle.

    Mercedes SLC Forum Who had their roof down today?

    Doesn't anyone drive with their top down ? I've probably put 3 or 4,000 miles on with the top down this summer. Usually these are drives in the early morning or late afternoon/evening. My wife and I love riding up in the mountains with the top down, it's almost as good as being on my...

    Mercedes SLC Forum How many people purchased the extended warranty on their Mercedes-Benz SLC?

    I'll probably trade my SLC in around the time that the original warranty expires, so it wouldn't pay for me to get an extended warranty.

    Mercedes SLC Forum Top won't come back up

    My wife took my 2020 SLC Final Edition to a "girls" gathering last evening. Occasionally they get together for a pot luck and a chance to all complain about whatever women complain about. She got home around 11:00 and sheepishly admitted that when she was leaving the "girls" all wanted to see...

    Venture, a 2016 with only 21,000 miles is almost brand new. Good for you and hope that you're enjoying your purchase.

    Mercedes SLC Forum Best Use of the SLC

    My wife and I took our Final Edition SLC on a mini road trip last week. We felt like just getting away for a few days and thought that it would be a good time to evaluate the capability of the SLC as a road trip vehicle. We drove to Laughlin, NV (about an 8 hour drive) and took a day trip...

    Mercedes SLC Forum Welcome to the Mercedes-Benz SLC Forum, please post an introduction

    If they won't pay your price that's an indication that your price might be too high.

    Mercedes SLC Forum Welcome to the Mercedes-Benz SLC Forum, please post an introduction

    I recently purchased an SLC Final Edition. I considered a Porsche, Jaguar and BMW, but really liked the looks of the SLC. It seems to have all of the bells and whistles, which is what I wanted. It's comfortable, has plenty of power and looks good. I think the electronics package is a little...

    Mercedes SLC Forum Why is this forum so dead?

    One of the first things I do when purchasing a vehicle is check the internet to see if there is a forum for the vehicle. I have two motorcycles, an ATV and two other vehicles and each of them has an active chat forum. This is the first inactive vehicle forum I've come across. Is it because...

    Mercedes SLC Forum Handling

    I drive mainly on two lane twisty roads and enjoy this car more and more each time I drive it. I guess partially because of the suspension and partially because it is so low to the ground it corners like a go kart. I truly appreciate how well it tracks on curves and how comfortable it is up in...

    Mercedes SLC Forum I have the turbo 4

    My days of playing Ricky Racer are behind me, so I didn't need more than the 250 HP offered by the turbo 4 engine. What I've found is that this engine has plenty of power for moving the car swiftly over the two lane twisty roads that I mostly travel. On one very twisty, hilly road I found that...

    Mercedes SLC Forum Who had their roof down today?

    I had my roof down yesterday for about 70 miles. Temp was mid 70's and I was on the freeway most of those miles at 65 - 70 MPH. I found that having the drivers window up kept wind buffeting to a minimum and the temp was just right. It was a great day to be riding in a convertible.

    Mercedes SLC Forum Mercedes Me App.

    Mike, I'm computer semi-literate, but have not messed much with the Mercedes Me app yet. I've downloaded it to my iphone and it tells me when my car is unlocked (which is almost always). Sorry that I can't help you, but at least wanted to let you know that occasionally someone actually checks...

    Mercedes SLC Forum This is a loooonely place....

    I'm a new SLC owner and didn't go for the larger engine. My days of playing Ricky Racer are over, so I just wanted something that was fun to drive in the two lane twisties, good to look at and comfortable. When I saw this SLC 300R it had all the bells and whistles and the color was good, so I...

    Mercedes SLC Forum I jusr purchased a 2020 SLC300R

    I was looking for something sporty to replace my Jetta TDI Sportswagen. I checked out the Porsche Boxter and Jaguar X type and while both had some traits that I appreciated, I happed upon this SLC300R (Final Edition), which had all the bells and whistles and was a great color. It just so...
