Featured on AutoHunter.com, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 34,766-mile 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 hardtop convertible. It is powered by a supercharged 2.3-liter I4, which is connected to a five-speed automatic transmission. Finished in black over a black leather interior, this R170 SLK comes with a clean CARFAX report and a clear title in the seller’s name.
The black body is equipped with a matching power-retractable hardtop. Exterior features include a mesh grille, xenon headlights with washers, and body-color mirror caps. According to the seller, the hardtop was realigned in June 2024.
A set of 17-inch Touren TR76 wheels and 225/45 Advanta radial tires that were installed in August 2023 connect this Mercedes to the road.
The cockpit is furnished with a pair of heated, power-adjustable black leather bucket seats and metallic trim. Conveniences include power windows, cruise control, power steering, dual-zone climate control, and an Alpine AM/FM/Bluetooth head unit, which was installed earlier this year.
Vehicle information is displayed on a 160-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the temperature and fuel level. The odometer shows 34,766 miles; the most recent CARFAX report mileage figure from July 2023 is 33,809 miles.
Power comes from a supercharged 2.3-liter I4 that was factory-rated at 192 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. The engine sends its output to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Service history includes the installation of a new battery in 2023.
The supercharged inline-four breathes through a single exhaust outlet. Power brakes keep its power in check.
The seller acknowledges the presence of minor scratches on the trunk lid.
A closer look at the CARFAX report shows that it begins in 2001 and lists accident-free ownership in Arizona, Colorado, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
