The MERCEDES-BENZ SLK (1996-04) 320 2DR ROADSTER 3.2 SPEC ED is a compact, two-seat convertible, offering a more premium take on the affordable UK used-roadster market. Its folding metal roof lets it switch from open-air fun to a quieter, more secure coupé-like drive, making it distinctive among soft-top rivals. mycarcheck.com records are based on six look-ups covering three distinct VINs, so treat them as a small snapshot rather than a market-wide guide. They show an average private-sale valuation of £2,800 and average recorded mileage of 82,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 1,000, while cars checked had an average of 5.3 previous keepers. It’s best suited to couples or solo drivers seeking a stylish weekend car, rather than families needing rear seats or everyday practicality. The 3.2-litre SLK 320 brings smooth, lively performance and a more substantial feel than a Mazda MX-5; check service history and roof operation carefully before buying.
