I'm sorry, man.... But I don't feel your pain. I wanted the car. I asked the price. We agreed and I paid it. But I wasn't looking for an investment either. I just saw this really good looking car and after I drove it I had to have it. If MSRP had been about $5k more I probably would have paid that too. Now I have what I wanted and if someone else can get a better deal then good for them. I'm not planning on selling mine for a very long time. In fact I'm drawing up plans, in my head, as to what I'm going to do to it when my warranty is up. Another reason I'm still happy is probably that I have a great dealer and the very few, very minor problems I've had were fixed very quickly and I've been treated very professionally.

I am sorry though, for those of you that don't plan on keeping the car for a long time and find that you have lost money. Go buy a new Ferrari and see how much you flush down the toilet as you drive away from the dealer. It appears that, especially the UK folks have been it pretty hard. In the U.S. I don't see DC making any great deals. Other than the Crossfire lite version.

Just remember that when you're looking at the SLK you're still dealing with DC. :?:
