Mercedes to Sell Limited Version of SLK
Mercedes-Benz Korea is offering a very limited number -- only 80 cars -- of its SLK Edition 10 convertible, a special edition to mark the 10th anniversary of the SLK's debut. The car was first showcased at the Paris Motor Show last year.

The SLK-Class Roadster, the first hard-top convertible in Korea, is one of the German car maker's best-selling models, with global sales of 465,000 vehicles.

The SLK 350 is currently available in the domestic market. With 160 sales in the first half of 2005, the SLK-Class was the best-seller in the imported convertible category. Sales since then have been sustainable, with 240 in 2005 and 218 in 2006.

The SLK Edition 10 costs W87.9 million (US $1=W931) including value added tax.
