i personally would rather purchase a newer model... pre-owned vehicle usually is tougher to make a deal.. dealers usually wont drop the prices too much cause of the work that they've done.. plus, 90% of the financing is much higher when ur buying something used..

2005 SLK350 Silver w/ Black; 2004 GMC Sierra 2500
I could be mistaken but if it is a 2005 with pewter and mocha it should be the launch edition which might be slightly more desirable. I purchased a "used" 2005 from the dealer that had been registered to Mercedes as a demo and got a good deal. They were very willing to negotiate and they arranged financing to include everything including a check for sales tax in MA even though i purchased in NH (NH has no sales tax).

That's a bit much, I've seen similiar ones with more options for $47K around the same mileage. Pewter and mocha combo is rare, that's probably why it's much higher cost than the usual silver and black. 18' alloys I believe are 17's that comes standard with the AMG pkg. The pewter are easy to clean b/c they look dirty all the time.. j/k.

still undecided..the car indeed is the Launch Edition 05' model w/ the extras thus the 52K price tag, and it's a beautiful color combin..
But, i have read alot about the Porsche Cayman, and its a nice little ride as well. Once i decide, i will keep u in the loop.

Made Up My Mind..
Guys,
Today I traded my beloved CLK320 for a CL 500 AMG package.. Got a really good deal. 03' CL 500 with navi,AMG package, xenon, etc.. from dealer..Benz Pre-Certified up to 2008 or 100,000K.
I had a lot of fun in the CLK, but I look forward to good times in the CL. I always wanted a CL, and now I have my chance..
Cheers!!
