I have always liked the idea of the SLK 55 small car with a big engine, look forward to seeing it at one of the MB World gatherings.

Great looking interior Agnes Are you coming to BOTG next weekend ?

That's a great looking car, the interior looks stunning to me.

Excellent choice love the wheels, I would be interested in the drive difference between yours and the R231 SL as interiors are very similar...

Does it have cooled seats? looks like the same button setup on my SL

Unfortunately SLK never had cooled seats.

Thanks for all nice comments. I'm not going to BOTG. Will be enjoying a bit warmer weather on continent and then taking SLK for week road trip, it was already planned. However I can't decide where to stop in Germany, since I visited most picturesque places on my route already. My end up in Potsdam for 5th time.

If anyone knows good leather specialist, let me know. I will check other parts of the forum too. Driver seat bolster may need new leather. You can't see it on the pictures, but it's wrinkled and I think it might be cracking soon.

Regarding drive difference between SLK and SL, SL is much more comfortable, at least SL500. If value of SL wasn't going down like a stone, I would consider it more seriously.
