Mercedes SLK World Forum - View Single Post - Looking for help buying a used SLK-350

Hi All,

This is my first post here. I am looking to buy a used SLK-350 for my wife. More than likely it will be a 2005 (would prefer 2006 but it depends on what comes up) and I had a question. In 2005 what options came with the 'Sports Package' and what would the premium wheels be? The sports package and 'premium wheels' seems to add about 3K to a used car, I want to make sure that the dealer is not just throwing it on there to bump up his initial price point.

Are there any sites or tools out there where I can plug in a MB VIN and get all of the options that a car came with?

Also, anything I should look out for with the 2005? I read that some of them had oil use problems from a leaky seal perhaps, so I have been checking underneath the cars for oil leaks.

Thanks and looking forward to joining the club.
