Description

This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK 280 offers a composed, sporty drive with a smooth 3.0-litre V6 and a slick 7-speed automatic gearbox. With firm sports suspension and precise steering, it feels agile and confident whether cruising the A-road or winding country lanes. The folding hardtop transforms the car from a compact coupe to an open-top roadster in moments, adding weekend fun to everyday usability.

Inside, the cabin is tailored for comfort with full leather seats, heated front seats and the unique Airscarf heater for pleasant open-top motoring. Practicality is aided by responsive air-conditioning, easy-to-use electrics and parking sensors that make city driving simpler. Finished in Designo blue with AMG styling, it balances striking looks with a rewarding driving experience.
