Picked up my SLK55 w/30 option
Just picked up my obsedian black w/black SLK55 w/30 pack. today.
Not to be rude but holy S#$%. I used to drive a Lotus turbo esprit. The handling of this car even when new is just unbelievable. The wheels give it an incredible look and the sound is utterly awesome.
Will post pictures once I quit driving in a few days

Only problem is the dealer forgot to give me the owners manual and I need to review how to operate the gadgets. I will go pick that up tomorrow.
Good to be part of your crowd

Sorry
Sorry guys, I'm located in not so "sunny Florida" and have seen rain since we picked up the car. Will post as soon as I can.
I love the Lotus. The car is a blast to drive, very quick and great handling. The electrical was a little quirky as british cars can be sometimes.
That time frame is a great car, just make certain it was not driven too hard and that all maintenance was done. I truly believe that the pre owned Esprit may be one of the great values. The car always got plenty of looks. the biggest negative was the rear view (interior mirror virtually useless). Other negative was , dependent on the drivers height, it was a pain to get in and out of.

I just noted that you and I got our very similar cars on the same day, October 4th. How is it going? I love mine and am going to go for a drive right now before it clouds up anymore than it already has.
Don't forget to get the entire manual package. There are several manuals and they all come in a really nice leather, zip-up box-like bag with the M-B logo. Very nice. I'm sure it could easily be 'lost' in the dealer's shop.
Also, be sure to get the proper AMG logo floor mats, etc. The door sills also say AMG on them and could be easily substituted with the far more common 'SLK' door sills.
I've got 650 miles on my SLK 55 with the 030 package and words cannot adequately express the ...........

06' SLK55 w/030 pack
picked mine up also. Has 030 package. Will send pixs in acouple of days. Must agree with number6-- handling is better than expected. have neighbor with Z06 that wants to play in some twisties as soon as I get broken in. I think the 030 package is very under rated in "handling" Drove a standard 55 at the autobahn track and my 030 has better response!
