Bruce,

There were 35 of the 2004 convertibles, 147 of the 2005's, 55 of the 2006's and 2 of the 2007's (from Mexico, with an advanced year, same as 2006. The advanced year model is allowed by Mercedes within Mexico). That's a total of 239 convertibles out of the 1026 European models from 2004-2007 converted by G&K.

Hello Ron:
I just bought an 05 Passion, Black/Silver 3 weeks ago. Had 210 miles on it! Last 6 digits: 253439. Please add me to your 450 owner list
teejay43016 -Thanks to your posts I now understand more about these G&K cars, and the medallions. Mine does have one. Odd that the asmartcar.com website I viewed shows my car as for sale by them??? (I nearly fell off my chair seeing this, and paid no where near that price!!) Thanks again

Wow. Thanks for the information. I feel lonely out here in Denver with my 2006 Passion.

Any suggestions for maint. help? I found an Acura guy to help with oil changes and the like, but I have an intermittent electrical starting problem. My wife wants me to get rid of it. So sad.

You may want to call Paul Myers at Smart Center Denver (actually in Englewood). When I lived in Boulder, Paul worked on my two 450s and cfriedma says Paul has been willing to help where he can with cfriedma's 450. Never hurts to have more than one person that can help.
