The car
Built to make the drive an occasion
The SLK350 was designed to turn an ordinary drive into an event, and this one still delivers. Touch a button and the hardtop folds itself into the trunk in about twenty seconds, turning a sharp coupe into an open roadster — then seals back up tight when the weather turns. The 3.5-liter V6 has real punch, the rear-drive chassis loves a back road, and the all-black presentation gives it a quietly aggressive presence.
It's been cared for, not neglected. Purchased for around $13,000, it's had roughly another $7,000 put into it since — including the professionally installed JVC system with Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and a backup camera. Apart from the stereo and the wheels it's refreshingly stock, and the clean Oregon title is in hand and ready to transfer.
The seller is relocating and can't take the car along, which is the only reason it's up for sale. Comparable SLK350s in similar shape and mileage have averaged about $12,000–$13,000 over the past two years according to cars.com — so even before the note below, this one is priced to move. Serious offers are genuinely welcome. Located in Eugene, Oregon; no trades, please.
Full transparency
One honest item remains on the list: an intermittent electrical issue that hasn't been fully chased down. The car runs, drives, and stops, and the quirk comes and goes — it's simply waiting on the right owner or shop to finish what's been started. The asking price reflects it, and a box of spare parts (including a brand-new intake and assorted sensors) is included to give the next owner a head start.
