Bandit Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Bit of a sill question to ask on a Zed Forum. But i cannot decide between a 350 Zed or a SLK 350 Merc. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-MERCEDES-SLK-SLK350-AUTOMATIC-SAT-NAV-BLACK-LEATHER-SEATS-REAR-PARKING-SENS/162195032931?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D39068%26meid%3D6e227 025f8c44f6e982932391996faaf%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D11212985126 7 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-06-NISSAN-350-Z-3-5-GT-V6-ROADSTER-2D-297-BHP-/122106523763?hash=item1c6e1db073:g:kfkAAOSwNRdX7adj These are not the exact cars I'm looking at just an example of what I cannot decide on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Moved this here for you Bandit. Don't think anyone but you can really make the decision but hopefully someone who's owned both can give you some incite or at least some other opinions may help you decide. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks GMballistic. Just thought a few on here might have a view on it. Merc v Nissan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hey bandit Both look nice. The zed will be in the more expensive tax bracket where as the Merc will be lower. Don't know if that is important buddy 🙂 Andy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of hundred here and there on tax is not a worry, just to say, the two I showed are just for illustration only. Really not worried about the year just to compare the quality and practicality of both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 For me the SLK beats the zed in terms of quality, performance (just if you believe the figures), being a nice place to sit, looks (not a soft top fan myself), probably running costs if an indie is used, equipment, style, prestige. Zed wins hands down in not exuding the image of the driver having a vagazzle Id be driving the zed.

Alex350z Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 In my opinion the Zed is a much nicer looking car, and will also be a much better drivers car. SLK probably better for everyday but for me i wouldnt even consider it against the ZED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Do you like to drive, or just sit comfortably? Actually both Dan. I want to be comfortable while sitting in town traffic and then have a blast on the open road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Then get the 350. The SLK is a nice place to be, but it's not fun to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 you also have to take into account what how you are perceived - the merc has always been considered a girls car / a hairdressers car sadly, as I quite like the look of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Yes! Getting into a zed and firing it up feels like an event , getting into an slk feels like getting into a car and starting it! ( I've owned an slk) . A zed all day long for me but it's your choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
