Default SLK Engine costs

A while back there was questions of engine prices. At the time Dan estimated a 55 engine at $40K and once again he is on the mark.

Prices of SLK engines from *************.com:

DescriptionYearMSRP PriceCore PriceYour Price
Engine, slk280, slk350, manual trans - 2.8l, 3.5l - 2.8L, 3.5L 05-07 $22,490.00 $21,588.00
Engine, slk280, slk350, auto trans - 2.8l, 3.5l - 2.8L, 3.5L 05-07 $21,840.00 $20,964.00
Engine, slk280, manual trans - 2.8l, 3.5l - 2.8L, 3.5L 06-07 $18,820.00 $18,060.00
Engine, slk280, auto trans - 2.8l, 3.5l - 2.8L, 3.5L 06-07 $18,820.00 $18,060.00
Engine, slk55 amg - 5.4l - 5.4L 05-07 $42,700.00 $40,992.00

Don't know why the double listing for 280/350s.

Thanks for posting this up.

Considering the costs of the engines and the costs of the vehicles, the complete vehicle actually now seems quite reasonably priced considering.

Instead of trading in my 06 SLK 280, maybe I should have just sold it as parts.
