Should we worry about this SLK's issues?
Is the steering on a 2005 SLK 200 very heavy? We are buying it on Saturday. Also there's a tyre pressure light on because the run flat tyres are not fitted so says the seller. What do you think?
Thanks.
Our answer:
Hi Ann,
That sounds very dodgy to me. Heavy power steering usually means that the pump is on the way out. It could be partially explained by low tyre pressures too, but either way, if the seller is making up excuses, it's time to walk away.
