Description
A truly glorious machine that will be a future classic. This V8 power plant has an irresistible sound track that will make every tunnel a V8 echo chamber of joy. This car is my pride & joy, I'm considering selling as I think I may invest in a more exclusive sports car, but I'm still not totally sure. I will let it go to the right owner. Winner of the SLK World Ride of the Month!
I've owned this car since March 2018, on 91K miles so I know ~40K miles of its history and can offer as much detail as possible. The M113 R171 engine is bullet proof and one of the most resilient engines Mercedes have ever made. It makes 360hp at the rear wheel and pulls
beautifully. ''Best engine Mercedes ever made'' according to SPR Autos. The Forums are very supportive and 250K is very doable.
The 6 inch touch screen fitted significantly enhances the modern feel of the cockpit and allows a good screen for the reversing cameras. It offers all iPhone car play apps, I don't know if it supports Android.
