SLK 230
Is this a mistake...

I was reading on a website about mercedes increasing their prices and guess what i found:

"The entry-level SLK roadster, the 200, is now £500 more expensive increasing to £28,040. Its bigger brother, the SL, now costs between £100 and £1760 more, depending on whether you buy the cheapest £47,600 SL280 or the top-of-the-range £144,500 SL65 AMG."

I didn't realise there was a SL280 out there?

Here is the website by the way:

Nup, never heard of it. Prices don't tie up so don't think it's a typo as the SLK280 is £30,975. Strange.

Unfoetunate news but not surprising. I've been holding off on ordering a 2006 SL 500 until the prices are available - not available as of yesterday here in Southern California.
