After a couple years of searching off and on, and going through several other vehicles, I was able to buy my first SLK55. Right before I found this one I went to look at one at a local dealer, they were pulling the for sale sticker off the car as I pulled up. Then I was browsing the for sale section on the forum and found a 1 owner, 40k mile, diamond silver for sale in Oregon,(I live in Washington state, about 5 hours North),. I flew there this morning and they met me at the Eugene Oregon airport, about 45 minutes later I was driving home in it, only took 4 hours of smiles with the help of the AMG lol! That was the best 4 hour drive of my life, I'm very pleased with the purchase, and I know the owner was sad to let it go. I've already been in touch with 1 local member, I hope I can meet a few more.
