2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Convertible - Silver - 166,286km - 3.5L V6 Automatic
Overview
The SLK-Class R171 represents Mercedes-Benz's interpretation of the affordable roadster, combining compact dimensions with genuine performance and engineering refinement. The SLK350 variant, introduced in 2005 for the 2006 model year and continuing through the R171 generation, pairs a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V6 engine with automatic transmission, delivering 272 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This 2004 example sits at the tail end of the earlier SLK32 AMG era, positioned as a desirable entry point into the SLK lineage. The convertible format, with its fully retractable hardtop roof, defines the model's appeal: genuine open-air motoring combined with the security and insulation of a closed coupe.
This particular example presents in silver metallic, a classic Mercedes colour choice that suits the SLK's proportions. The paint holds good gloss across visible panels with minor stone chipping on the bonnet leading edge consistent with highway use. Panel gaps are even and straight, with no obvious evidence of accident repair or panel replacement. The convertible roof mechanism operates and retracts cleanly. Interior trim shows age-appropriate wear to the leather seats and steering wheel, with the dashboard presenting well and the instrument cluster displaying clear analogue gauges. The odometer reads 166,286 kilometres, reflecting genuine use over two decades. Service records are present in the logbook, documenting maintenance history across the vehicle's life. The owner's manual is included with the sale.
At a market guide of $8,000 to $12,000 AUD for SLK350 examples in this condition and mileage, this represents fair value for a 20-year-old Mercedes convertible with documented service history and a desirable V6 engine. The SLK remains a sought-after entry-level Mercedes, particularly in convertible form, and this example offers the mechanical simplicity and reliability of naturally aspirated power delivery without the complexity of forced induction systems.
