Hi
i've spotted a motor for sale ,its a blinder , you know the story ,low mileage , full genuineservice history ,immaculate , bla bla bla .
i know my cars so thats not the issue , know advice needed on the above .
My question is
its a Mercedes 200SLK Convertible
little 2 door number
Is it to girly for a fella to drive ??
my personal opinion is yes , bit of a hairdressers car as the saying goes.
so men , would you be happy cruising around in one or embarrassed ?
Ladies ..do you think its a bit to girly for a man ??  |

I used to have an MG TF, never felt like I was driving a girly car. If you're ever in doubt though, just make sure you have some manly tunes blaring out while you drive lol |

Real men, confident men, men who don't deny their sexuality whatever it is, men who want to get from A to B and don't need a car to define them or boost their flagging ego and self doubt don't worry about what car they drive.
I should write an advert DurShprungForkTicClick as they say in Grannyland. |

Wise words, nor what watch they wear or what labels are on their clothes. |

Are you a hairdresser or retired banker who plays golf in a pink sweater?

If I was that uncomfortable in my heterosexuality that I thought a car was 'girly' and a 'hairdressers' I'd probably not be it and go for something that screams testosterone and manliness to other road users |

I've seen men drive:
Audi TT's supposdly a hairdresser's car
Fiat 500's - makes me laugh
VW Beatle, the new shapes
I wouldn't say that is a girlie car... You like it go get it, jealously labels cars as girlie...
I so miss my TT... |

I drive the archetypal hairdressers car, an mx5. Hubby loves to borrow her when I’m not at work as she’s great fun to drive, especially at 3am on a Saturday morning with the hood down on his way to work  |

I had one up behind me the other week. I couldn't believe a smart car could accelerate that fast. Its not massive top end but they certainly get there a bit quick lol |

Alternatively go for a BMW Z4 similar sort of deal with the added bonus of it having an extra long bonnet so people will see you and know your penis is large |

"convertibles are an eyesore. and people driving them look like fannies you did ask "
A far too inclusive generality.
Just some examples:
Go and look at an XJS cabrio being driven hard with the roof down or a TVR. You only look like a fanny if you drive/dress like one.
As for the epitome of convertibles check out an E type with the roof down and motoring hard. |

Spot on. Given a free choice either a person is buying a particular car because that's the car they really want to drive or they're buying an ego/pose-mobile toy which will ultimately (and sometimes very quickly) stale off and disappoint. |

I had the 230 back in 1997 for a couple of years and told it was a girly car then, good job I'm a girl I thought.
Don't agree on convertibles being an eyesore, we have had a few, TVR's, Lotus, Z4 all looked stunning I thought, only trouble is it's only this year you would get to enjoy them to the full, usually need the roof up lol |

All you need are a warm coat, gloves and a scarf for year round motoring on sunny days. |

Nice little car, I'd have one for fun, but then I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of my taste in cars. I like the Mazda MX5 too, great little runabout.  |

Which generation is it OP?
R170 R171 or R172.
Id stay away from the 1st generation as the steel they used back then wasnt that great and car is prone to rust, especialy in the roof area.
R171 Looks like a mini SLR. Go for it fella, especially if its Silver or black with AMG trim. |

"What years the slk"
03 but mint full merc service history all old mot's 0 previous owners .
Its only a grand
There usually rust buckets but this one's mint
I'm just buying it fir that reason
Stick it on the driveway and use it as and when fora run around
All the mot's have no advisories apart from wipers and headlamp adjustment
Was owned by an old fella who garaged it from new pretty much
I'm only buying it cos it's only a grand and mint
Not buying it pretending to be a merc owner or poser .I've already got a 67 plate car
Just buying this as a spare run around  |

Get it. The worst that will happen is that some beardy, tall man will tell you:
"You have a womans car! I'll bet that dainty little roller skate never pulled a Land Rover out of a ditch, in the Highlands, in the middle of a blizzard." |

For a grand it sounds like a bargain! Not the best engine admittedly but it’s not a car for tarearsing around in  I took in a 230 import last year and gave nearly £3k for that! If it’s as tidy as you say then go for it |
