Additional Selling Points: Always garaged. I am the 2nd owner, I have all paper work including all spare keys with valet keys in the original leather case given to the original owner by the dealer.  It has never been in an accident.  This car has very low miles for a 2000 model.  The car has many safety and convenience items.   This car has been used primarily as a weekend car hence the very low number of miles on the vehicle. I have priced this car at an attractive price, especially during the Summer season.  If the car is of interest to you, you will take rapid action.  I have included a number of links below of professional and owner reviews of this car.  Most SLK owners really like their cars.  I bought this car in winter, and loved it.  But, when the warm weather approached and I was able to drop the top, it transformed the car into a fabulous and fun sports car & convertible.   So, in this car you get a rock-solid Grand Touring car, along with a thrilling convertible.   This car gets 29 mpg or more on the highway.  
Condition Description: Great mechanically and cosmetically.  I know of nothing wrong with this car. License tabs good through March 2007.  Tires in excellent condition.

Owner Reviews on MSN


Test Drive Policy:   I am not interested in letting people joyride this car.  Dealerships are better equipped & insured for that type of thing.  If after considering and seeing the vehicle, you wish to purchase it, I will certainly let you pay me and if the car does not meet your expectations after a couple hours of driving it, I will refund your payment and we can vacate the transaction.  But, such a thing would be nearly inconceivable.  However, I would not want to be stuck with a car I did not like. I am a very straight-forward, decent seller to work with.  I am not a politician or other type of crook.  

Car Location:  This car is located in Sacramento, crime scene of the 6th most expensive government  gang-organization on our Planet, presently headed up by the former Terminator.  During the day I am in the vicinity of  Howe and Arden.  I live in downtown Sacramento.  I can conveniently make arrangements to show the car at either of these locations. 

Contacting the Seller:  I work during the days, so I can only occasionally field calls from 8-6pm.  I try to check voice mails a couple times a day, so leave a voice mail, please, or Send me an email.  I am usually able to scan emails during these hours.   If you are a decent, honest, person who is not a politician or other crook, I may decide to sell you this magnificent car.

Why am I selling it?  My family size has grown and I frequently need to have 3 individuals with me. For practical reasons I need a larger vehicle.  I love this car.  It is a real beauty.  It will be a wonderful car for a lucky buyer.

If you live far from Sacramento:  

Southwest Airlines and Jet Blue both fly into the Sacramento Airport.   I can explain how to easily get into town for a $1.50 bus fare.  Or, I'll meet you at the airport with the car and I'll take the bus home.  Or, I will deliver into the following locations for the following very low fees (after payment in full):

 

Northern California $150 or less
Central / Southern California $250
Oregon $300
Arizona $300
Nevada  (subtract $100 for Reno) $250
Washington $300
Western USA $350
Anywhere USA $500
Canada  $400 Western / $500 Eastern
