The Appeal
This SLK 200 has clearly been well cared for by its owners over the years. It comes with extensive service history, with many invoices from Mercedes-Benz service centres.
It is finished in a very fetching shade of metallic blue and remains in excellent condition throughout. The car has been the subject of a steady process of gradual improvement, with the current owner having fitted an improved stereo system with all the smartphone connectivity you could wish for. Previously, the car has received an upgrade to rain sensitive windscreen wipers
In all, this is a very well presented Mercedes, which also benefits from having reportedly had its rear subframe replaced in 2020.
