Mercedes-Benz has done some truly interesting cars over their long and illustrious history. Today, we shall be discussing their SLK or Sport Light Short in German, as we’ve got a 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 for sale today. It’s from the first generation of the SLK which was made between 1995 and 2004. The R170, which is what this era is known as, saw over 311,000 examples sold, of which just over 10% were SLK320 variants like our subject car. With its smooth six cylinder engine and low mileage of just over 20,000 miles, this Morgan Hill-based car is the perfect weekend cruiser to acquire, and will definitely become a future classic very soon. Oh, and it’s got a folding metal roof!
Exterior and Interior
The exterior is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744), a timeless Mercedes color that suits the SLK’s compact proportions and sculpted lines. The factory wheels, clean bodywork, and original trim give it a very honest and presentable look. Inside, the car is outfitted with the Designo Silver Edition package, bringing charcoal leather seats, special Cinnamora wood trim, and a matching wood/leather steering wheel and shift knob—all of which significantly elevate the cabin beyond the standard SLK. The Birdseye Maple wood trim option further enhances the interior’s warmth. The power hardtop folds cleanly into the rear deck at the touch of a button, converting the car from coupe to convertible in seconds.
Engine
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.2L V6 (M112) known for its refinement and longevity. It delivers smooth, linear power and pairs seamlessly with the optional 5-speed automatic transmission, offering both comfort and reliability. The SLK320’s rear-wheel-drive layout provides a balanced driving experience, and this example appears mechanically original, retaining its OEM engine components and factory exhaust routing. The AMG-style enhancements from the Sport Package—including AMG body accents and 17-inch wheels—give the car a more aggressive stance without compromising ride comfort.
