For my slk 230 1999, sport package, the red and black interiors, fade away constantly, the red paint on dash and center console is very delicate, it will scratch all the way deep enough to see the black original color of the same... cardan joints have been changed four times and keeps breaking, I have a brand new one in my trunk because the 4th one is already broken...then the asr light turns on" avoiding for the asr system to work properly, can become very dangerous on wet road.. I had an accident and almost totaled my Slk230...
