Description
I am selling my 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK200 (R171), a truly well-maintained example of this model.Mileage: Purchased on January 9, 2024, at 75,000 miles. Current mileage is 77,000 miles.Ownership History: The car was owned by an elderly gentleman from Worcester, who purchased it as an Approved Used Car from Mercedes in 2009 for his wife. It remained in their care until I purchased it. Under the previous owner's care, the car was always stored in a garage alongside other cherished vehicles, like a Lexus LS V8 and a Toyota LC76. Its condition reflects this care, with excellent exterior and interior quality.Inspection: I hired a professional inspector before purchasing the car (180 cost). They confirmed the car is mechanically sound, with no leaks, a tight chassis, and near-perfect interior condition. Minor cosmetic scratches are shown in the photos.Maintenance and Improvements:Roof Mechanism: The retractable roof operates flawlessly, with no leaks. I have driven it through heavy rain, strong winds, and jet washes, all without any issues. This is a key feature for any convertible.Tires: The front tires were replaced in August 2024 due to wear, so they are as good as new.Service History: The car was last serviced just before my purchase, though not at a dealership, so it is not logged in the on-board computer.Upgrades:Installed a CarPlay system for navigation, music, and an integrated dashcam. It is powered by the cigarette lighter and can be easily removed if not needed.Rearview camera and wiring (imported) included but not yet installed, provided with the car.Condition:This SLK200 is in near-perfect condition, with no error codes or hidden issues. The retractable roof's integrity and operation are flawless, which is rare for convertibles of this age.Why I Am Selling:I love this car for its elegance and timeless Mercedes design. Despite its modest power compared to competitors like the Z4, it is a joy to drive. However, I am selling it as I am relocating overseas and can no longer keep it.Other Details:MOT Validity: Until August 3, 2025.Keys and Paperwork: Fully complete with two keys.If you are a fan of the R171 SLK and are looking for a car that is ready to drive and enjoy, this is a rare find in such exceptional condition.
