This beautiful 2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK 320 6-speed has only 10,760 original miles and a clean Car Fax report. The R170 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class is the first generation of the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class range of compact luxury roadsters manufactured by Mercedes-Benz between 1995 and 2004. Over the nine year production period only 33,416 SLK 320 models were built in total for worldwide distribution. This example was built in June of 2002. It was ordered with a rare color combination of an Amber Red Metallic exterior and Magma Red leather interior. From the information gathered it was sold new to its first owner on August 24th, 2002 by Mercedes-Benz of Houston Greenway located in Houston, Texas. The first owner was the caretaker for over 11 years before selling the car on October 24th, 2013 with 5,076 original miles to the second owner who lived in Palm Beach, Florida.

It retains the original factory Amber Red Metallic paint which was tested with an electronic paint meter as documented in the photo gallery.

The paint was recently detailed to a show quality finish by the team at MS CLASSIC CARS. The car features a power-retractable body-color hardtop which is in great working order. Some additional features include auto dimming mirrors, xenon headlights with washers, fog lights and a heated rear window. The car sits on 16” 5-spoke alloy wheels that present very nicely.
