The SLK55 I'm looking for is nothing special. Silver, with the normal options, there's not that many options to choose from for the SLK. Silver doesn't strike me as a rare color. Finding a car with 25mi or so (or less even) would just give me a little more peace of mind. I don't need the car *right now*, so I can wait a bit.

for the record, my wagon arrived from a different dealer's stock to my guys with 76 miles on it. i was a little annoyed/let down/dreadful about it, but my worries have proven baseless. i was pretty much stuck where i was b/c of the deal i worked out on the car, and the fact that it was the only remaining black wagon with those options in the US. choosing between it @ 76 mi. and a lesser-optioned car with 33 miles was a no-brainer. around LA, the 40 miles' difference is the drive home from the dealer!
