Thats Quebec - you know they are expensive :-)

2012 Like mine fully loaded, main dealer, $51,669 at the current exchange rate = £27500

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK350 for $51,669 in Oakville | autoTRADER.ca

UK
Mercedes-Benz SLK350 BLUEEFFICIENCY AMG Sport 3.5 2dr

£32495 = $61090

Ok 18% more expensive!

Of course the difference is smaller the older they get, and in the US they are about the same price in USD as CAD so significantly cheaper (CAD/USD =1.2)

Either way is personal choice for the owner regardless of our sparring :-)

Yea but my point was that its not worth it with all the extra costs and aggro and the steering wheel is still on the wrong side unless it was a rare classic with sentimental value.
Did look into taking mine and even though we would spend months in Spain and France still not worth it.
