#8 of 226 Revised Price Estimate by tksung Feb 01, 2004 (11:24 pm)
According to http://www.carbc.com/Car-News-680.html, it's $55k for the base slk350. Add initial markup, it could be $58k. A lot of premium for the badge and the good look. Im definitely off to S2000...

I'd just wait for something official from Mercedes, because if those prices are right the SLK320 to SLK350 is going to be a 10K leap! That doesn't sound right, nor does 82K for a SLK55 AMG, per that link above.   M
#10 of 226 I believe the Prices! by callmedrfill Feb 14, 2004 (4:38 pm)
The Z4 tops out at 225HP, and no hardtop.      The Boxster is around $50k, with less power and softtop.      Who is the SLK's comp? I'd charge $50k+.      DrFill

Could be true, the new SLK appears to have taken a huge leap foward in interior quality, layout and design compared to the old car. There are new pics at germancarfans dot com.   I'm just waiting to see what the press has to say about a stick shifted 272hp (SLK350) Benz. Should be a revelation, for a Benz that is.   M

It's on its way (well, nearly), so this discussion has been reactivated by request.
#13 of 226 Huge improvements, this one looks great! by cybersol Jun 25, 2004 (12:27 am)
Car styling is subjective, but to me the new car is just plain sexy while the old one is just old. The new 3.5L V6 generates impressive hp AND torque numbers, and is a vast improvement over the old 3.2L. The new 7 speed auto appears to be designed to offer the performance of a 6 speed manual. With 0-60 in around 5.5 seconds, if they make the new rack-and-pinion steering system sufficently sporty, then this should be a sweet coupe, much less a hardtop convertible!   The only question is what the new prices will be. If Mercedes offers this starting around 47-50k USD, then they might just get my next car purchase.
#14 of 226 Your Car is Coming! by merc1 Jun 25, 2004 (12:47 am)
Well that is exactly where it will be priced so get your checkbook ready!!!!   M
#15 of 226 WOW by saugatak Jun 25, 2004 (3:17 am)
The SLK 3.5 is a HUGE improvement over the old 215HP v6. It looks HOT too.   As long as MB gets rid of those 600 useless electronic functions and ups its reliability, they've got nothing to worry about from Bungled BMWs or Lexus.   In terms of looks, there is NO contest.
#16 of 226 Winter Driving? by wvubenz Jul 09, 2004 (8:58 pm)
Does anyone know how the SLK performs in winter (snowy) weather? A past SLK or 2005 SLK? This is my main concern since it is rear wheel drive.

Replying to: azcarate (Jan 29, 2004 11:02 am) http://www.maybach.ru/slk/index_en.php?ind=35   i believe this is a site where you can find some interior pics.
