As for the SLK, they are not really sporty cars. They are heavy, kind of slow and expensive to maintain. The roof will give you grief.
This must apply to anything newer than 1995, and I have friends with a 2006 E500 that has had TONS of work done by the dealer, thankfully under warrantee.

My 94 wagon is a joy to work on and parts are relatively inexpensive.
