Hi all
Thought i would introduce myself. i have just taken ownership of a 2018 GLC 350 SUV (my first Mercedes) and love it. My wife has always wanted an SLK and its her 40th this year and i have decided to get her a (up to) 2010 SLK.
I have a few questions:
Did they come with reversing camera?
Are models with sat nav rare?
The majority i am finding for sale are either, Black, Silver or Grey. She would like a blue one, will i be struggling?

Thanks

Mike

The UK has an active meet scene.

@Delucas holds meets in Kent. Go along and chat to the gang.


You can get those options but blue is harder to find for any model.
I wanted blue and found them selling within 3 days, or so.


Happy hunting.

Hi Mike, and welcome to SLKWorld.com from the UK Midlands - Thanks for joining us and posting an intro! :)

We have quite a few members in the UK that like to meet up from time to time. If you're interested in joining us sometime, just keep an eye on the UK Region section, as we post meeting plans there!

There is a summary post that I maintain for our UK meets here. Links to examples and pictures from last year's meets are available here. We're a friendly group, and always happy to welcome new members at any of our meets.

We're also plotting where our UK members are - check out the thread for that here: SLKWorld UK & Ireland Members and Meeting Points Map - Please let me know if you'd like to be added to the map. :tu:

Thank you
Dave
