Final day for this sweet emerging classic.    Happy to answer any questions in the final hours.   And if a Spring road trip sounds exciting, then fly and drive....I'll pick you up at Grand Rapids International (GRR) and you can easily be on your way.

@mercedesdad I totally agree!   And I love that someone bought this base-look and protected it all those years.

@ssafdie1 Thx for the question...No odors at all...ash trays are like new.   Just smells like a new Mercedes.  No headliner or sunroof cover sagging.  It won't disappoint.

Here's a quick overview of the CLK 320.
The car was originally sold in Virginia, and stayed there most of its life with its original owner until I bought it in 2024.   It was clearly babied and wasn't driven in much inclimate weather because it is SO clean.
It has all original owners manuals, radio code, two keys + valet, and service receipts from my time with the car.
The car is pristine in every way except for a few blemishes as follows:Two touched up nicks (almost like 'strawberries") on the passenger side of the car...something must have fallen off the garage wall.  Not very noticable but pointed out in photos.
Driver-front rim has one spot of curb rash
A few stone nicks here and there
It had a small repaired chip in the windshield that was there when I got it. I took it to have it repaired but they said it had already been repaired, and done well.  
Very minor fabric wrinkles at the base of driver and passenger A pillars.  The driver door had fabric coming off when I got it and I had that smoothed out, cleaned, and repaired.
Rear seat ashtray has some marks on it and it's a little sticky.  Definitely a non-smoker car, so likely something scraped it.
One of the rear license plate screws is stripped
All windows, locks, seats, headrests, auto back seat back movement, lights, rear sunshade, etc, work as they should.   The air is cold, the heat is hot, the radio works, there are no warning lights or codes.    A code was on when I got the car but it was simply the steering wheel adjustment that wasn't locked (eye roll).
Tire codes are 2019 Michelins Only 50 miles since last oil change.
I've only had to do minor things to the car.  Replaced the passenger side rearview mirror glass because it was loose, replace a few light bulbs, brake fluid flush, air filter replacements,and some of the backing came off the original floor mats so I had the carpets cleaned.
Enjoy these (very crisp) Spring photos in the Dunes of Lake Michigan.  And for good measure, I took inside photos, too, so you could see the car in different light.

Welcome to the auction of my silver 1999 CLK 320.

This gem was a one owner car until I bought it in late 2024. It's a low mileage cream puff that looks, smells, and runs like a new car.

We're collectors of multiple years and models of MB's....all are kept in heated and air conditioned year round storage, always on a battery tender, and never driven in the rain or snow.  As a result, each is only driven about 600-800 miles per year.    We are not a mechanically handy household, so each of our cars is maintained by a local german shop.  If a car needs something, it gets done.

I couldn't pass this one up because it was so clean, beautiful, sure to appreciate, and so easy to drive. The 320 has plenty of horsepower and drives like a modern car, but has the charm of a classic in the making. 

I'm always intrigued with low mileage one owner cars, and try to collect them whenever I can.  I love the idea of someone buying their dream car and having so much pride of ownership that they are stewards for future owners.

This is that car.  A very original, very clean, CLK 320 with books, keys, and service records from my ownership, including inspections.

Enjoy the auction!

@seller do you by chance have the original radio?

@stuttgart_steel you are 100% right...even the engine serial number starts with 112 vs. 272...I'm so sorry for zoning on that!   (sadly there wasn't even champagne involved...).  Thanks for the quick reply. T

17k-Mile 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320

tcstraker said:

@stuttgart_steel what a beautiful car.    Do your records show any evidence of balance shaft replacement?  According to Last Vin, it looks like engine serial number 112949 31 893084 is within the recalled range.    thanks and HNY

Hard to believe this is a 20 year old car that was $53K when new.    Doors still close with a thunk.  Drives as tight as a new MB.   And if you're bald like me, your head can burn to the same shade of bronze as it can in a new $130K SL, for a fraction of the cost....

Hi viewers.  Just over a day to go on the auction of this pristine little Benz..  Please let me know if you have questions!

2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 w/49k Miles

tcstraker said:

Welcome to the auction of my sweet little SLK320.
 
I’ve owned the car since Summer 2022. The Pewter over two tone Sienna beige/charcoal is really unique, and very handsome.   It was a one owner car from new prior to my purchase, never in salt, no corrosion, and well maintained.   I’m selling to make room for another in my collection.  It’s in heated/cooled storage and not driven in foul weather.
 
Under my care, I’ve done the following:
Oil change/service
Added four new continental tires (2022 date codes)
Full inspection, including top hydraulics
Repaired faulty brake light switch
New OEM floormats
Repaired SRS light that goes on and off intermittently (there seems to be a faulty connection in the grid under the seat bottom…I didn’t want to risk taking upholstery off to repair, but I did purchase a new sensor that comes with car should you chose to repair it)
 
Everything on the car works.  Air blows ice cold.  Radio, top, seats, electronics….all work perfectly
 
Known flaws:
Stone chips, a few small dings and scrapes from 20 years of use (noted with my finger in photos)
All paint is original except drivers door.  Previous owner said it was dinged in a parking lot with shopping cart and was repainted.
Driver fog light mesh is loose.
Center console paint chipping (typical of these models…can be painted/refreshed) and some wear on driver seat bottom cushion.
All original glass, but windshield has two small chips there were there when I bought the car, and I've had both spots professionally repaired to prevent spreading.
 
Car comes with all books, receipts, two keys, original floormats, original window sticker, new SRS sensor for passenger seat, and original materials from Mercedes-Benz of Huntington NY.
 
It’s a fast, reliable little SLK.  I can’t say enough good about these cars, and this car in particular.  It still smells like a leather-clad Mercedes.   Will be here to answer questions throughout the auction.

tcstraker said:

Hi @mbheritage.    The description says “aftermarket head unit” but looks like radio delete.  Is there something behind that panel?    Does climate control work properly?   Any warning lights currently on? date codes on tires?  Lastly, naive question… I don’t know headlight level adjustment existed.   Are the headlights properly leveled as is?.  Thank you!

@mbmarket are total pros.  Thanks for handling this doofus. For anyone in Vancouver BC, I’m sure you’ll see the E on a corner lot with “Runs great! Cold A/C” in neon in the windshield.   Seems like a solid car, but from a shaky seller, so beware.

tcstraker said:

@e300man and @mbmarket.    Total rookie move.  I’ve purchased many cars on BaT, and imported two.    I’ve never had a SELLER back out of a no reserve auction.     This dude needs to be banned …. Not that it matters.   He won’t be back.    Mbmarket please refund my buyers fee already charged .
