This 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG was first sold by Napleton Autowerks of Schererville, Indiana and was first registered in Indiana. Finished in Mars Red (590) over Black/Anthracite Nappa leather (801), power is provided by a naturally aspirated M152 5.5-liter V8 paired with a 722.9 seven-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes the P30 AMG Performance Package, AMG Styling Package, mechanical limited-slip differential, sport suspension, bi-xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination, 18” AMG multispoke wheels, a glass Vario roof, Airscarf, Keyless-Go, COMAND, Harman/Kardon audio, and heated power-adjustable seats. An aftermarket X-pipe has been fitted and the factory secondary resonator is included in the sale. The seller reportedly acquired the car in November 2025 and the digital odometer currently shows 68,605 miles. Recent service documentation shows an oil and filter change in September 2025, rear shock replacement and driver’s door handle repair in October 2025, transmission service in November 2025, and a four-wheel alignment in January 2026. This SLK55 AMG is now offered with one key, the owner’s manual, service records, a factory secondary resonator, a car cover, a Carfax report, and a clean title.
The body is finished in Mars Red (590) and features AMG-specific bodywork including sculpted bumper covers, side skirts, and quad exhaust outlets. Exterior equipment includes bi-xenon headlamps with active curve illumination and headlamp washers, LED daytime running lights, rain-sensing wipers, power-folding mirrors, Parktronic guidance, Keyless-Go, and a power-retractable glass Vario roof. The seller notes some chips, scratches, and blemishes around the exterior, including blemishes on the gloss black roof trim near the rear window, a paint chip on the lower front-left side of the front bumper near the fender, and a small chip on the front splitter. The Carfax report notes paint repair performed in May 2021 involving the bumper, hood, fenders, and doors, along with minor rear damage from a February 2023 rear-end collision with no airbag deployment.
The factory 18” AMG multispoke wheels are mounted with mixed-width tires and are paired with the factory sport suspension. The seller notes some curb rash on the wheels, and close-up images are provided in the gallery. Braking is handled by 4-piston front and 2-piston rear AMG brakes with ventilated discs all the way around. Recent service includes replacement of the rear shocks in October 2025, and a four-wheel alignment performed by Mercedes-Benz of Gainesville in January 2026.
The cabin is trimmed in Black/Anthracite Nappa semi-aniline leather (801A) across the seats and interior surfaces, with aluminum facet-look trim accenting the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior amenities include heated power-adjustable seats with memory, Airscarf neck-level heating, lumbar support, COMAND with DVD changer, SiriusXM satellite radio, Harman/Kardon premium sound, ambient lighting, an analog clock, cup holders, dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming mirrors, a garage door opener, and AMG floor mats. The seller notes light wear on the seats, and additional interior photos are provided in the gallery.
The AMG Performance steering wheel fronts a fully analog AMG instrument cluster with a 200-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer with a 7.2k-rpm redline, and analog gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. A central multifunction display provides trip, vehicle, and warning information, while the digital odometer currently shows 68,605 miles.
The naturally aspirated M152 5.5-liter V8 was factory rated at 415 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 398 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm, with the rev limit arriving at 7,200 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 722.9 seven-speed automatic transmission and a mechanical limited-slip differential. An aftermarket X-pipe has been fitted, and the factory secondary resonator is included with the sale. Recent service documentation shows an engine oil and filter change in September 2025, replacement rear shocks and driver’s door handle repair in October 2025, and a transmission service with fluid change in November 2025. The seller reports that the spark plugs, engine air filter, cabin air filter, battery, windshield, and camshaft sensors were also replaced in 2026, although documentation for those items was not provided. The underside is said to present well with no rust noted.
The Carfax report shows three owners from new, 17 service history records, no total loss, no structural damage reported, no airbag deployment, no odometer rollback indication, no open recalls, and no title or odometer brands. Registration history is shown in Indiana, Alabama, and Florida. The report notes paint repairs performed in May 2021 and a minor rear-end collision in February 2023, with rear damage reported and no airbag deployment. This SLK55 AMG is now offered with 68,605 miles, one key, the owner’s manual, service records, a factory secondary resonator, a car cover, a Carfax report, and a clean title.
The R172 SLK55 AMG occupies a special place in the modern AMG lineup. While the earlier R171 SLK55 used the beloved M113 5.4-liter V8, the R172 brought the M152 5.5-liter V8, sharper styling, improved cabin technology, and a more refined chassis while retaining the naturally aspirated character that made compact V8 AMGs so memorable. With 415 horsepower routed to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission and mechanical limited-slip differential, the SLK55 AMG offers a very different experience than the turbocharged AMG models that followed. This example is particularly notable for its Mars Red paint, Black Nappa leather interior, P30 AMG Performance Package, Magic SKY Vario roof, Airscarf, Harman/Kardon audio, and Keyless-Go. The SLK formula has always worked best when it feels like a true two-seat Mercedes roadster rather than a compromised convertible, and the SLK55 adds the kind of naturally aspirated V8 soundtrack that makes the car feel far more special than its size suggests. With recent documented service, included records, and the factory resonator included, this R172 SLK55 AMG presents as a rare modern AMG roadster with the right equipment and the right engine.
