Hello everyone and thank you for viewing my auction. This is for a 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 roadster. I purchased this vehicle from a friend of mine (engineer at Boeing here in St. Louis). His uncle originally purchased the car in Los Gatos, California. The vehicle was brought to St. Louis in September 2012. Overall the vehicle has clearly been well maintained, with no known mechanical issues, a fresh oil change and a long California history. This vehicle has the rare 6 speed manual transmission and is very fun to drive as a result. Here are my comments and what is good about the vehicle and what could be improved upon. Good:The convertible top works very well. The only known problem was a pinched wire, which was fixed in the Summer of 2013.The engine runs strong and has been well maintained with regular oil changes (most recent being July 2014).All 4 shocks were replaced in the Fall of 2012.The fuel filter, steering damper, trunk hydraulics, and hood hydraulics were all replaced in the Fall of 2012.A new NAPA Legend battery and new gas pedal assembly were installed earlier this year in March 2014.The brake system was flushed with MB DOT4+ in July 2014.The sound system works well with no overall issues.The interior of the car is very clean, has not been smoked in and protective covers have been used on the floor mats through the life of the car.Rotors and brake pads are in good shape, with the front pads replaced at the beginning of this year.Tires are also in good overall shape.Areas for improvement:The electronic system controlling the automatic door locks goes in and out and sometimes it needs the key manually inserted to unlock the doors.There are minor scrapes on some of the lower body panels because this vehicle is fairly low to the ground, nothing major.There are two minor dents in the rear trunk area of the car, pictured in the photos.Overall the car is in good condition, especially considering the age and milage. Please ask any questions you have during the auction period. There is no warranty expressed or implied in this auction and I encourage anyone interested in seeing the vehicle to reach out. Thanks for viewing!
