Not overpriced if someone bought the first 2004 model year when it first came with dealer incentives to move it and build a reputation. That year came fully loaded with everything other than the supercharged engine that followed in later years and the limited designation that then followed that included all the upgrades the 2004 came standard with. The 2004 was 1/2 the price of the comparable SLK at the time and it is the same car in a XF wrap. I'll have to check the sales receipt but I think my dad drove his (now mine - no make that my wife's somehow) off the lot for about $25K brand new in 2004.
