Description
2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK200 1.8 Auto (R171) | 45k-Mile Engine Fitted! | HPI Clear
The Ultimate Mechanically Sorted SLK - Ready for the Summer!
Selling my Mercedes-Benz SLK200. The car is in great running condition and drives beautifully, with the convertible hard-top roof operating perfectly.
The biggest selling point of this car is what sits under the bonnet. On 18/06/2026, the car had a replacement, low-mileage engine fitted. The chassis has covered 95,235 miles, but the actual engine only has a verified 45,000 miles on it. Models with original 45k mileage currently retail for close to 5,000 on the market, meaning all the expensive mechanical heavy lifting has already been done for the next owner!
Over 2,000 was just spent on the engine swap and a massive preventative maintenance overhaul. The following brand-new parts and premium fluids were installed during the swap:
- New Engine Mount
- V-Ribbed Serpentine Belt
- Premium Spark Plugs (NGK)
- Elring Intake Manifold Gaskets
- Elring Exhaust Manifold Gasket
- Elring Oil Filter Housing to Engine Block Gasket
- Elring Oil Cooler to Oil Filter Housing Gasket
- Factory Recommended Engine Oil
- Pentosin (MB Spec) Power Steering Fluid
Condition & Paperwork:
Mechanics: Brilliant. With the fresh low-mileage engine and newly serviced automatic transmission, it shifts perfectly and has a long, reliable life ahead of it. Tyres are all in good condition with plenty of tread.
Cosmetics: Please note, this is a 2004 vehicle. There are age-related marks and some rust/bodywork that will need attention down the line to make it cosmetically perfect. It is priced with this in mind.
Documentation: I have full photographic proof and details of the donor car the 45k engine came from. A full vehicle history report is also available for peace of mind. HPI clear.
Please note: Current mileage is slightly going up as I am daily driving the car.
Reason for sale: I am looking to upgrade to SLK55.
Terms:
Cash or bank transfer preferred on collection from Ipswich. Genuine buyers only, please. No time wasters, tire kickers, or scammers. I know the value of the mechanical work that has just gone into this car.
