2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK55 AMG Description

Unlike other AMGs of the same generation, the SLK MB chassis does not suffer from reliability and high-cost service issues associated with being over-engineered. Has never left me stranded or been in need of critical repairs. The car has always been meticulously cared for with routine maintenance matching or exceeding factory recommendations and comprehensive service/parts receipts going back as far as the original dealership purchase. The power hardtop has proven the best combination of sporty-driving excitement and year-round practicality. Never smoked, tracked, or abused with a clean title in hand. Very rare vehicle.

Frightfully fast with an exhaust sound that still makes me grin like an idiot after 40K miles. Approximated performance figures with modifications are 400HP and 0-60 in 4.0 seconds.

Mechanical condition 10/10, cosmetic condition 9/10 with light signs of use as is typical of cars with this mileage/age. Minor front bumper damage near the intercooler scoop (see pic) is factored into price accordingly.

Car is equipped with air scarf, heated seats, power everything, Harmon Kardon/Bose high definition stereo system, satellite navigation, and all other optional features except parking sensors.

Performance modifications:
- 18'' OEM AMG lightweight performance staggered wheels with custom matching black/polished silver lip
- Eurocharged ECU flash tune (more HP and improved fuel economy)
- Secondary exhaust resonator delete w/ MagnaFlow X-pipe
- Rolled widebody rear fenders with plus-sized 265mm width staggered tires
- Michelin Pilot A/S-3 tires with ~80% treadlife
