mirzar1, Welcome to the forum. Do you want a new SLK or are you considering a used one? Since you live in N.J. I strongly suggest that you buy a car with the heat scarf option. It will greatly increase the time that you can drive your car with the top down. Do you want a V-6 (SLK 300 or 350) or are you interested in the SLK55AMG? How important is the sound sytem?
