Mercedes-Benz took the world by surprise at the 1996 Turin Motor Show when it revealed its SLK model. Featuring a electro-hydraulic folding metal roof, this small two-seat roadster could be a coupe or convertible, depending on the driver’s mood and wishes. With the SLK, which stood for Sporty Light Roadster (sportlich leicht kurz in German), drivers were treated to the quieter and more secure experience of a proper metal-roofed coupe, as well as the ability to fully drop the top and enjoy a true convertible experience when desired. The first generation, called the R170 was named North American Car of the Year for 1997. This is a 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 from New Jersey with just 33,000 miles on the clock. It comes with two keys and the seller reports that the car is clean inside and out.

This 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 features a Firemist Red Metallic paintwork and rolls on a set of 16” silver Mercedes-Benz alloys with Michelin tires. Headlight yellowing is a common issue with the R170, but this example hasn’t suffered from the problem as the pictures show, and the seller reports that they are crystal clear. The interior is in a Charcoal and Copper color scheme, with 8-way power adjustable leather seats, dual-zone climate control and the original Mercedes-Benz radio. Velour SLK floor mats are included as well, and the aforementioned electro-hydraulic roof is operated via switches in the center console and takes less than thirty seconds to open or close.
