Seller's Comment
In addition to its elegant specification, this example features the rare Walnut wood and leather steering wheel, matching Walnut handbrake, and Walnut trim inserts to the dashboard and doors details seldom seen and highly sought after on the R171.
Delivered new by Marshalls Mercedes-Benz of Parramatta, this SLK has travelled 177,996 kilometres from new. Notwithstanding the distance travelled, its overall presentation, cosmetic condition and mechanical feel are far more consistent with a vehicle having covered substantially fewer kilometres. It is a particularly well-kept example that would genuinely suit a discerning and fastidious owner.
Importantly, this SLK comes with a consistent service history, with receipts retained from 149,816km onward outlining the work carried out. It was originally serviced by the supplying Mercedes-Benz dealer before moving to experienced Mercedes-Benz specialists and independent workshops. The car is supplied with two original remote keys, along with its factory books, manuals and original logbook.
Power comes from the 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V6 engine producing approximately 200kW, paired with the 7-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. The SLK 350 represents the sweet spot of the R171 range offering strong, linear performance and a noticeably more engaging drive than the SLK 300, while retaining refinement and usability.
Factory Equipment & Options Include:
Xenon headlights
Parktronic front and rear parking sensors
Memory Package (electrically adjustable seats with memory)
Multifunction steering wheel with gearshift paddles
COMAND infotainment system
Sports suspension
17-inch 5-spoke Sport Design alloy wheels
The interior presents beautifully, with the Semi-Aniline leather showing minimal wear and retaining its rich finish. The folding Vario-Roof operates exactly as it should, transitioning smoothly from coupe to open roadster at the push of a button.
Increasingly difficult to find in this condition and with such detailed history, this SLK 350 represents a properly maintained and unmodified example of Mercedes-Benzs last naturally aspirated V6 compact roadster. An ideal choice for the enthusiast seeking originality, provenance and condition above all else.
