This 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 Sport was sold new by Mercedes-Benz of Naperville, Illinois and shows Illinois registration under a single owner since new. The car shows only 3,844 miles on the digital odometer and is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over Anthracite leather (211). Power for this roadster comes from an M112 3.2L V6 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Features include the Sport AMG styling package with sculpted bumpers and side skirts along with AMG wheels, a power-folding hardtop, heated seats, and climate control with REST functionality. The car has reportedly received regular oil changes and fluid flushes as needed since new and accordingly in preparation for the sale. This SLK 320 Sport is now offered by the selling dealer out of Jacksonville, Florida with 3,844k miles on the odometer. The sale includes factory books and literature, one key, original tool roll, jack, spare tire, first aid kit, and a clean Carfax report.
The body is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and the seller notes the paint to be original based on even panel gaps, consistent paint meter readings, and the included clean Carfax report. Exterior features include a power-retractable hardtop with an electrically heated rear window and the Sport package which offers AMG bumpers, side skirts, and single chrome exhaust outlet. Detailed photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery below.
The staggered 17” AMG Monoblock 5-spoke wheels are specific to the Sport Package and are wrapped in Continental tires measuring 225/45 up front and 245/45 in the rear. The front and rear tires display 2010 dates.
The interior is trimmed in Anthracite leather (211) with matching black carpets, dash and center console. Original black floor mats show “SLK” embroidered on the outside edges. Additional features include manual climate control, cruise control, cup holders, and the factory Mercedes-Benz radio. The entry/skid plates and pedals wear OEM metal sport trim with black rubber accents. Eucalyptus wood trim adorns the center console, air vents, doors, and steering wheel. The factory leather shows the original finish throughout the cabin and little to no wear throughout.
The four-spoke Sport wood and leather wrapped steering wheel sits in front of a chrome-ringed gauge cluster displaying a 160-mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer, and additional readouts for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer reads 3,844 original and documented miles. A digital clock and outside temperature gauge are also present.
The 3.2-liter M112 V6 power plant is rated at 215-hp and 229 lb-ft of torque from the factory. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. An oil service was performed by the selling dealer in preparation for the sale.

A video has been added to the listing.These are great little coupes that are solid cars with minimal issues. The really sad thing about them is that more weren't built in "sporty" colors like red and yellow. You can't beat the M112 for simplicity and reliability. This engine is known to easily make it well into the 200k range with minimal repairs, usually limited to a crankshaft position sensor and resealing of the crankcase breather system. A set of plugs along the line and regular oil changes and that's typically it. If there were weak points in this model, it would be the Vario roof hydraulics and the interior plastic finish. Not speaking of this example, but roof hydraulics are probably the most common issue with these cars as they age. I would have some concerns about a low-mileage example having dried-out seals, but a quick inspection should determine if this is present or not. The bad thing about the hydraulics is that they used cylinders with hoses or lines that are part of the cylinder, meaning that if a cylinder has to be removed, you have to remove the line all the way back to the pump, which can be time-consuming ($$) Mercedes used a process for coloring the interior plastics that used a base mold of a solid color and then paint applied to the pieces for the correct interior color. Due to exposure to the sun (it's a convertible!) and normal wear, the interior pieces can have the color wear off, revealing the base plastic color. If it's close or the same that might not matter, but in some interiors, it can be rather glaring. Clearly not an issue for this example. I can't think of a more reasonably priced, luxury car convertible that is known to be reliable and economical to maintain and repair than the SLK320. Of course, there's always the AMG32, but unfortunately, they're rather uncommon and difficult to find in good condition... GLWA!$2,750 bid placed by @wfbonney
