SLK55 spotted in Los Angeles
So, I was at my dealer b/c of what the did to my car... https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/86542-my-lovely-experience-dealer-today.html
But, as I was walking through the lot I saw a SLK55 AMG. It was right next to a fully loaded SLK350. The SLK55 was ~$64k (w/o command), the SLK350 had everything and was ~$59k. Why would you buy a fully loaded 350 when you can go all out and get the AMG for only $5k more?
Here's a pic of the car. Just beautiful!

2005 MB SLK 55 AMG
Very cool !
Though I personally wouldn't want the 350 OR the 55 NOT fully loaded - so I think this might be a valid consideration for a lot of people. If you are prepared to spend the money the (base) 55 costs, you most likely want most if not all extras. I wouldn't get eihter without the command (320)....
ANyway, very cool. DOes it look like they are trying to sell above sticker ?
Gauging from the 'barebones' config, and that it's on the lot and not sold, I would imagine, this is one of the dozen or so West Coast 'Bonus Cars' that MB sent to dealers for a job well done (they are not gifts mind you - the dealer still has to pay for them :-) ). I.e. they are not customer-ordered.

"Bonus Cars" eh? That's probably why the survey was so important to them... Interesting...
