SLK's are the original folding hard-top convertible and are also one of the best compact roadsters of all time. This car combines the power of its 6 cylinder, 3.2 litre engine with a silky smooth 5 speed tiptronic automatic transmission. Having covered just 96k miles from new this model is exceptionally pretty, with a lovely specification. This car is finished in Deep glossy black with matching black leather - a solid, rust free example which is in good, original condition with original alloy wheels and a good, solid stance - This compares favorably with a majority of the SLK's I see which can suffer from the onset of the dreaded rot, if not cared for properly. The cars superb, original condition ranks it among the best I have ever seen.
Of course the real beauty of an SLK is it is essentially 2 cars in 1. During the winter months you can leave the hard-top up and enjoy the sumptuous leather clad interior, which is fully air conditioned and even has electric seats. During finer weather you can remove the hard-top at the touch of a button and reveal those iconic lines that made the SLK one of the most famous open top cars of its day. This car has a neat design with the aerodynamic shape and rear roll-over hoops just behind the front head restraints which improve safety and prevent the interior becoming to blustery at speed - as a result on a fine day the SLK can be driven long distances with the top down, and just enough wind in your hair to be enjoyable, but not uncomfortable. Roof up or down the SLK remains one of the most handsome cars ever produced. The neat features of the SLK, such as the neat roof design have been copied by pretty much every manufacturer since - but the original is still, in my experience the best - as a result the SLK's roof is smooth, reliable and 100% water tight. The SLK is a quality car which was way ahead of its day.
Few manufacturers evoke an image of quality and prestige as much as Mercedes-Benz and the SLK lives up to the reputation. The solidity of this car is evident the moment you open the door - The interior has been crafted from quality materials and all the switchgear operates with a precision that is testament to the engineering excellence these cars are famed for. specification which includes a sumptuous full leather interior, with electric heated front seats.
The 6 cylinder SLK sounds beautiful and is guaranteed to raise a smile every time you drive it. With 218 horsepower in a compact 2 seater body, performance is brisk. 0-60 mph takes just 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph flat out. The songful, naturally aspirated V6 engine provides plenty of torque and ensures the SLK is relaxing to drive as well as fast. Whilst the straight line speed is superb, Even more impressive is the way this car handles. The rear-wheel-drive SLK is entertaining to drive, but also has ESP stability control which ensures the car remains sure footed in all weather conditions. The turn in is instant and the handling well-balanced while the suspension is still very comfortable.
CONDITION;
Firstly we know this car has had some damage and repairs on it previously as it is a CAT D according to HPI. The only evidence we noted were some minor marks on he front bumper which may relate to some previous damage. I can confirm that having driven this car it is tight and solid. It is also solid on its arches which are the usual rust spot o this era of SLKs. There are superficial scratches and marks in keeping with the age and mileage of the car along with some marks around the centre console in keeping with the cars age and mileage.
We have a full set of manuals for this car along with 1 x remote key. The Last owner has had the car for 10 years and maintained it well, using it only a 3rd car in the households for weekend runs in the country, hence its low annual mileage.
Whilst I do not have what would constitute a full service history for this car, I do have a large A4 ring binder crammed with receipts by the precious owner along with old MOTs and even news articles relating to this model. It all points to a much loved car owned by an enthusiastic owner, which are the ones to buy! We will have it fully workshop inspected prior to delivery and I am happy to guarantee the cars low mileage of 96k from new.
