MB SLK 230 or S2000?

[Icenine]

Hey guys. First post. I was wondering, which which you prefer? The MB SLK 230 or S2000?

This is going to be my first car (at least a car that I will be the sole driver) and I've checked websites for reviews. Both cars are rather outdated though so I don't know what the general perception are.

The MB is being sold to me at P750,000. (It's a 2000 model)
The S2000 is being sold to me at P1,000,000. (Still negotiable)

Here are some facts.

1) I don't mind driving shift stick. I can learn it, and will learn it definitely if I get the S2000.
2) I won't use the car for racing.
3) I'm 22. Some people say the MB is for older people, so enlighten me on this?
4) I believe the S2000 being sold to me has modified rear bumpers. Is the stock better?

Thanks in advance guys. Hoping to make a decision in two days time.

Subic po ba sir ?

For me. I prefer the MB SLK 230. No it's not for older people. Madami ako nakikitang mga mid 20's driving the SLK.

S2000 has ***ier curves. Maybe that's why it's more of pang-binata. Racer type kumbaga.

Sir, try to negotiate pa po sa 750k. Baka masagad ng 700k. Mas maganda.

The MB SLK 230 or S2000?

I would choose the MB SLK 230.

The comparison is like apples vs oranges. They might be both 2 door convertibles but the MB is a much better class than the S2000.

I assume you will never take either car to the track so track performance is not a deciding factor.

The MB is a more comfortable ride, believe me. The S2000 is a focused performance car that would make you tired driving it long distances. The MB would leave you refreshed at the destination.

Pogi points. Personally the MB would get you more pogi points with the right kind of ladies than the S2000 would. Yes, the S2000 would also get points with the ladies but maybe not the kind you want nor as high as well.

Especially if the girl isn't a car enthusiast. She's more of the girly stuff. So pag nakita niya ang Mercedes Benz na logo, tapos 2-door pa ... e' alam mo na yun.

Guys, please include Z3 in the discussion. Been offered a very good price for the Z3, 1998 model nga lang.

Z3? ... nah!

But if it was the Z4, I would choose that.

If you value handling and performance then get the S2000 the SLK230 is not even in the same league.

kung ang slk is a B-plate, might as well get the S2K. Im very familiar with slk's 'cos i was a troubleshooter for mb and bmw cars. I'll never buy an slk 230 for 700k unless its a 320. But 900k for a properly c0nverted s2k is the wiser choice.

btw, nowadays kung naka euro ka nga pero mura naman and nag iilawan lahat ng warning indicators sa cluster guage and hindi mapagawa..either mahal ipagawa or walang matinong gumagawa..wag nalang. There's no prestige in that. Maraming expert pag dating sa opinion nila but poor on technical know-how.
