The bodywork is in very good order and the car has been well maintained mechanically, initially by the main dealer and more lately by Mercedes only specialists. It has been SORN for several years in the past but generally maintained during that time. A recent maintenance bill has seen the brakes overhauled prior to the recent MOT. The sale is driven by the age and mobility of the seller not by any issue with the car. The car remains in standard form and is a joy to drive especially with the top down in the summer and the 3.2L engine sounds great. If you are an SLK enthusiast this is a nice example and if you are just looking for a fun sports car this car maintains its prowess on the road and is a cheap Mercedes at this asking price.
