WTB:'05 or '06 Firemist SLK55

maruishirx4 · 07-26-2008, 12:25 PM

Just lost our '05 SLK350 to a Toyota Forrester-Forrester actually drove over the front end. Looking to upgrade to a SLK55. Prefer an '06 but will consider an '05. Car has to be Firemist Red with heated seats and airscarf. Not interested at all in any other exterior color. Looking for low miles and pristine condition. Let me know what you've got!

Sorry for your loss. I agree, Firemist Red is a great color for the SLK. Underrated color, not that many available. I have what your looking for, but I can't part with it. (2005 SLK 55, ALL options other than 030, black/red interior). Keep checking all available sources, especially online. I found mine on eBay. Good luck.

Thanks for the support. My girlfriend was driving at the time and the wreck was at 65mph. Toyota Highlander(had that wrong above) swerved into her lane, ran over the front of the car. She hit the inside barrier, then went across 3 lanes into the other wall. Walked away with only bruises-Mercedes quality and safety protected her there.

Glad to hear she came out of it ok, that's the important bit. Good luck on your search, I'm still looking for my "perfect" '55 as well. Firemist and Beige interior, all options - I've just about decided the only way I'll get there is an '09!

'09 would be the way to go! Hope you can get it, just not quite in the pocketbook for us right now. If you get it definitely post and show it off-would like to see.
