Thinking of buying or have bought an SLK? Then the SLK Guide is a must have book. The SLK Guide will talk you through the three main types of Mercedes-Benz SLK: the 170, 171, 172 and current 173. It also shows you the improvements in the mid-term facelifts. It explains the differences between the various models, from the 200 normally aspirated 170 to the fire-breathing SLK55 AMG.

It will tell you of the known issues, what to look out for, where to buy and which one will be perfect for you. Or rather, which ones will be.

The nominally 125-page file, with over 30,000 words, 68 illustrations and a dozen tables gives you all the information you need to know.

The SLK Guide is unique. There is no similar book for sale, either in printed or electronic form.

As you can see from the list of chapters below, it covers everything you want to know about all the models and also compares models within the same price range.

It is by no means sycophantic, despite the author really excited by his own 171. There is a chapter on known issues and, although these are few, there are gearbox issues, problems with seats and other faults. Special mention is made of the horrendously expensive balance shaft issues. Know before you buy. If you've already bought, know what risks there are.

The book includes owners’ reviews, some by those who have owned a number of quality sports cars.
