Not sure - but I would guess an approx. $7,500 to $10,000 premium.

Thanks

I would like to add the wood steering wheel to my vehicle. How much would it cost me for the wheel and install? Any input? Is it a bad idea to replace it?

It shouldn't be more then $500-750 from the dealer and you can add it aftermarket for that as well.

Thanks

nice car

I read that the color is a 'special limited edition' saks 5th only blue color and the interior is stone leather. the car comes with a silver key ring, leather notepad, wallet, all designed by Baldessarini for Hugo Boss, and a cashmere blanket. Saks makes a donation for every car sold to FTBC.

Some of the money goes to breast cancer research.

"Mercedes-Benz is joining forces with Saks Fifth Avenue to support Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC), a charitable initiative of the Council of Fashion Designers of America/CFDA Foundation, to raise awareness and funds in support of breast cancer research, screening and education.

This year, Mercedes-Benz is adding a special feature to the shopping event: 61 Special Edition CLK500 Coupes built exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue for the FTBC Program. The CLK Coupe, truly a car unlike any other, will be on display at all Saks locations and Mercedes-Benz will donate a portion of the proceeds from every car sold to aid FTBC."

61 of them? They're probably all sold...
