Just bought slk350

We just bought an 09 SLK350 today. It will be my wife's car, but I hope she will let me drive it once in a while. We tried to find one with GPS, but the dealer couldn't find one, so he is going to install it, in about a week when parts arrive.
I've never had a sports car anything like this, but- I LOVE IT!. It make s me feel like a kid again! Dealer told us, that for 09 only, MB has a special on a service package, 5 years of services for about 1/2 price, if anyone is thinking of buying a new vehicle.

Welcome to the forum. I've had my SLK 350 since November 2004 and I still love it.

Congrats on the new ride!
I have an 09 and never heard of that service deal. What's the total price for it?
I'd be suprised if the dealer can install the nav system except at a very high price. Navigation requires the Comand system which on the 09 cars is not available except when the nav package is installed.

The maintenance package was about $1700 for 5 years. The way my wife drives that will be several services.
Just heard back from the dealer today on NAV system. Since my car was not prewired for it, they have located another car just unloaded off the boat, and will get it by end of the week. They want to trade me out. It has a few more options on it, which is just fine with me. I'll get a really good deal on it, plus an extended test drive on this car. Luckily, we haven't processed the title yet. I guess their service guy was wrong when he thought he could just plug in a NAV system.

Congs. on your new car. You and your wife will love it.
You have to make sure that you got the key first every single time because it's a really fun car.
I have put about 15k miles on mine and I love it every single mins.

I am just wondering how much it is for a loaded 09 SLK 350 those days?

Well, about 5 months ago when I was deciding on CPO vs an '09, I was at about $58k with everything but the "sport" package, and Euro delivery. Dealer was not dealing very much, but he basically knew I was either going for a CPO'd 350 or a '09 55 at about 70k..

The sticker on mine was just under $57 K, no nav, no sport pkg so you could add another $6 K to that price.
