Midnight - It clearly has NAV. Look at the pics. I saw that one, it's so sexy.

That's a hot car. 2005=2006=2007=2008....that is caspian blue baby. just like mine. i searched for 6 months to find a loaded 2006 caspian blue. finally found one and grabbed it. ...that car on ebay is not bad on the miles. my 2006 had almost 19,000. $49.5. but mine had P30 performance package. And Bi-Xenon package, which I think that one has..I think I got a very good deal, but that car looks very nice. call him up and offer $44 K. who knows? or wait till dec 4. maybe you can get it for $43K...being a 2005 it was purchased in 2004 so warranty ends in 2008. can you buy an extended warranty? they are, what, $3700?

Wyatt, how can you tell it's got nav? it's got the NAV button but that doesn't mean it has it. it probably does though but the trunk photo isn't deep enough to see the DVD box.

Yeah, I can't tell if it is Nav or not. You need to call them and ask. It could just be the Audio 50.

PtoB, That's not Caspian blue. IIRC, it's Orion blue or another color that shifts between blue and purple vs ours that shift between blue and green. Some colors were discontinued in 2006. I think that's one of them.

It got "NAV" which mean..it 100% NAV !!! If it does not have NAV, it got a much smaller monitor/screen.

^ That's what I figured.

If there's a way to get a bigger screen and NAV button without the NAV, I'm stumped.

Yes there is. There is the basic small screen -Audio 20; upgrade sound with color screen -Audio 50; or full Navigation. That was then; the options may have changed now. Sorry CLK&SLK, you are mistaken.

My first SLK350 had the Audio 50 option with color screen and NO Nav. There's no way to tell if this car has Nav. PorschetoBenz was correct in stating you cannot see the dvd player in the trunk because of the picture angle. That would have answered the question.

Audio 50 has a colored screen? not black and white? if so, that is cool....

I figure the answer to this is no, but can a DVD besides NAV be played in the nav dvd player?

I haven't tried it but I'm betting that's a big fat NO.

2008 options the same way:

Standard:
In-dash audio system operating panel integrates controls and displays for the radio, CD player, and optional 6-disc CD changer.


PII:
Hands-Free Communication System Pre-Wiring
Fiber-optic network offers precise, high-speed communication among components and includes factory preparation for your cellular phone.

harman/kardon® Sound System and COMAND Head Unit
What could be more in tune with the times than your favorite music? The harman/kardon LOGIC7® premium sound system specially designed for the SLK-Class "listens" to the sound in the cabin and automatically compensates for unwanted noise.

Its 11-speaker, 380-watt system includes dual surround speakers. The system features multichannel digital surround-sound technology developed for the professional recording industry, to provide a natural and realistic sound stage. Digital Dynamic Volume Control helps preserve the sound balance under all driving conditions.

Finally, a large color-LCD screen on the COMAND system provides crisp, clear displays.

PIII:
Includes all the items in the P2 Package plus:

DVD Navigation
With the new DVD-based navigation system, the maps of the contiguous U.S., Hawaii, and Canada are all read from a single disc. The DVD drive is located in the trunk of your SLK.

Warranty is irrelevant to me since I'll be registering the car on this side of the boarder & M-B will not honor the warranty up here. Thats why mileage isn't critical for me, as long as the car is well maintained.

We'll see how long this car stays on the market.... definitely no rush though... old lady's who barely crack 62mph don't need 350+hp cars. She'll never accelerate to 60 faster than 12 - 15 seconds anyway.

It's listed as Orion blue though.

Anyone confirm which blue that is ...

You're right but like you said, that was then like on the W208 Clk 430 (I owned that too) !!!!! But we're talking about the SLK 55, are we?

Like I said before, the NAV screen is bigger then the non NAV screen. Just look at the two pictures and compare the two red line and you can clear tell the NAV screen is bigger. The NAV screen DVD slot is on the top of the screen and the screen can flip to review the cd disc. The non NAV screen has the cd disc slot is on the bottom of the screen.

CLK&SLK,

Seriously, visit MBUSA.com. I assure you, I know what I'm talking about. Did you even look at the post #36 regarding Standard, PII, PIII options. You can get Color Command WITHOUT Nav. It is the PII package.

It's Orion Blue, that was the color I wanted but discontinued for 2006 here in the states, that's a 2005 so I'm sure it's Orion Blue. Caspian is darker.

No longer car shopping...
Here's a 31K mile 2005 with bidding just under $38K and a BIN of $41,888. I think you shoudl be able to get it for under $40K. It is in Dallas and I do not have the ability tot run the VIN myself but it may be worth considering. Not certain if it has NAVI or not. I didn't see the packages listed, only 320 entertainment option & 326 premium pkg

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Looking at the trunk, I see a DVD player. Thus, it has Nav. It also has Bi-Xenons & Airscarf; must haves in my book. Looks like a good packaged vehicle. If the price and color are right, go get it.
