Are they known for the SLK55 yet?

SLK prices

Tony, whereabouts on the web are the SLK prices posted. Also does the 350 include any of those dear options?

They're on benzworld.org (the American site) under the R171. There's a post by "Owen" about. The prices look genuine. They're all basic prices. The SLK350 doesn't include any of the listed extras. I guess it's the 6-speed manual with standard Merc air-con.

I've put down the deposit. Looks expensive but hopefully depreciation will be so low that monthly payments will be surprisingly small.....

The thing that makes me laugh about the pricing is that the 350 is almost £7000 more than the 200 - but the 200K is a more expensive engine to make. Ok the 350 has a few extras thrown like electric seats, so let's say that they're charging £6000 for the extra power. If you compare with, say, the Audi TT, the 3.2V6 is £200 (two hundred pounds) more than the 1.8 turbo.
