slk55 price

From daimlerchrysler.com--top stories:

The presentation follows the publication of the first photos of the new SLK at the start of the year, which themselves sparked an extremely enthusiastic response. A total of over 7,000 orders have been taken since sales release already. Prices for the SLK-Class range from 33,524 euros for the entry-level model to 63,974 euros (ex factory).

63,974 euros = 79,334 USD

What is "ex-factory"?

Looking for a new toy.
You can't directly compare pricing from one market to another simply by converting currency rates - there are many more variable involved. European prices for example have built in taxes (much higher than U.S. ones) to the sticker figure. If the new SLK55 comes in at ~ US80G, buyers will be tripping over each other to head somwhere else *L*. That price is way above where the current SLK32 is priced and puts it into a WHOLE other group of performance cars.

For that price, you could get an E55 V8 Kompressor.

Chaps,

Bear in mind the new SLK55 is approx 10% more than the outgoing SLK32 in GE and now confirmed in the UK market. This is probably your best indicator for where the US price will be.
