Just bought this little car, its soooo cute, couldnt pass it up.
Has most people had good experience with this car...hope so,
since I can't do anything about it now. Do you know if this comes
with a "flat" key...I didn't get it.

I bought a 98 used & it didn't come with the flat key either. You can go to your local MB dealer & have them make a flat key for you. I called a locksmith who advertised foreign car keys, and he said he could make an SLK key for $45 - FYI.

Congrats and welcome. I too recently purchased one for my wife (an '03 SLK32) and it is a very fun car. I too wondered about the flat key as I didn't get one either. But on the other hand, my BMW and Audi's came with one but I never used it.

whats a flat key? is it like a special encrypted key for mb or what?
sorry to jack your thread but i hear this shit all the time and i dont know what it is.
also have fun with your slk cause i know i would

A flat key is just that, a flat key. The key is sans the remote for the alarm and used as an emergency key that you could keep in your wallet.

k i get it, its a spare flat key that bypasses the alarm and shit ok tight thx

There is no "flat key" for the SLK. The key is a flip out "A class" key with an ignition barrell instead of an EIS so a "flat key" wouldn't work.
If you're talking about a keyless go "flat key" then no.
