Hi Scotty,
Been watching youe videos recently and i quite enjoy them 🙂
I am looking to buy a car to have some fun with in the weekend. Would you recomment a SLK Mercedes from 1996-2003 with 150k miles?
I dont want to spend a lot of money on it, what are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Maintenance and repair wise we are talking about a Mercedes-Benz so they will be pretty high.
Now that said, if we are talking a weekend toy, if you get it cheap enough, it could be a good one:

It has 150 000 miles so I wouldn't pay too much. They are good weekend toys as long as you fit in them because they are small cars. If you are planning on buying it for a daily driver, don't even think about doing that unless you don't mind spending a bunch of money on repairs. If you want a fun daily sports car, i would suggest looking at a Mazda Miata, those are solid built (made in Japan) and they can last forever. However because you are using it only for weekends, it can be a decent car so go ahead but don't pay much for it.
