| I got my SLK350 6 days ago and have 503 miles now. Yesterday while driving home on the freeway, the outside temperature reads 144 degrees fahrenheit. It doesn't seem to be that hot because that will be a major news on the radio. Anyways I think it is about 90 instead. Few miles to home, my Check Engine Light came on. I parked the car overnight and this morning started the engine and the light is still on. It is now in the hands of the mechanics at the dealer. | |

Does anyone have information on the total number of SLKs that will be shipped to the U.S.? I've been told by the local dealer that only 350 will be shipped; the rest of the production staying over seas. This seems suspect. Any numbers out there? Thanks.

What do the hood louvers on the SLK55 do? One opens to a rubber-sealed box and the other is closed off by a plate w. a 1" hole at the rear. I've only put 1300mi. on the car so far, but it seems simply AMAZING!!

| Got one more Question. The SLK55 lists two different sets of tire pressures, one inside the gas flap, one on the door frame. Which one do I use? I'm following the door info: 33# front, 39# rear. | |

Replying to: dgm4488 (Aug 22, 2005 3:20 pm) Excited? I have never experienced an automobile as stunning as this SLK55. Even tho I read about it for months, it is far more car than I thought it would be; every time I drive it, I discover some neat new thing Mercedes has done. (Now, if it only doesn't break down.) Dare I use the word "bargain"? It cost me about $65k, but seems well worth it. Far less than a Viper, and a Vette convertible, loaded to match, would cost about the same, and you'd STILL only have a cloth top. I took delivery in June and had ordered it in Feb. I'm told that if one were ordered now, delivery would be next May.

| At the dealers the other day, a service mgr. commented about having a bad day. Seems a lot of SLK V6s were coming in smoking. This is a brand-new engine; they're too young to smoke. I wonder what's going on. Since I just bought a new Mercedes, I was hoping they had got their quality control act together. | |
