MrAbody:

Welcome aboard! For what it is worth, here are what I feel are the "priority options" for this car.

Comfort pkg.
Premium pkg.
Entertainment pkg.
Heating pkg.
Lighting pkg.
Heated Seats
Airscarf

Also, I would recommend looking for an '06 if at all possible. As a general rule, I try to avoid buying any Mercedes that is in its first model year after a total redesign, which would be the '05 in the case of the SLK 350. Though there are some very good '05s, Mercedes seems to have a problem in that it takes it about a year to get all the bugs out of all (or most all) of the cars it makes. Of course, in the US you have to get an '05 if you want manual transmission.
