2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 - 3.2L V6 - Automatic Transmission - 57k

roadster appeared in 1996 as a competitor to cars like the Porsche
Boxster and BMW Z3. �€" Hagerty | Media This convertible with a
folding steel retractable hardtop married Sacco styling to the
existing W202 C-Class platform to create a less expensive
alternative to the SL series convertibles, and as such is seen as
sort of like a spiritual successor to the 190SL of four decades
earlier. The SLK was a runaway hit upon its introduction with
favorable in-period reviews from journalists as well as several
top-10 and car of the year accolades that initially resulted in
Mercedes having difficulty meeting demand for their new roadster.
The SLK line was expanded in 2000 with the addition of the SLK 320,
sporting a 3.2-liter, 215-hp V-6. A mid-cycle update for the 2001
model year not only included a mildly facelifted interior and
exterior but also saw the introduction of an improved ESP stability
control system as well as a sixth gear for the manual transmission.
Time has shown these cars to be mostly trouble free as long as
scheduled maintenance is consistently attended to and they remain a
relatively inexpensive and thoroughly entertaining avenue into
Mercedes roadster ownership. Offered here is a 2001 Mercedes-Benz
SLK320 in Brilliant Silver Metallic (code 744U) over Anthracite
leather (code 211A). Delivered on January 24, 2001, and since owned
by just three individuals, for a total of 57,378 miles, or fewer
than 1,675 miles per-year on average since new. The sport model was
well equipped, including (according to lastvin.com): Code
