It's a low spec slk, not even the 3.5 it's badged up to be!

You can guarantee the owner never refers to his ‘car’ it’s always ‘the AMG’

“320k miles from new. Regular oil services. Just shows these engines can achieve well over 500k miles if maintained well.”

No, it shows it’s made it to 320k

Could have been on a private or NI plate & recently issued with an age-related plate.

Hmmm, can't even get the fake badging right. Badged as a 350 on the rear and 3.2 on the front wings. st wheels and generally naff looking. Go for it.

Spend your 3k on an early 3 litre Z4 not this rather dubious example of an SLK.

Believe it or not but someone paid for that plate shown so it has probably been retained and the original reinstated.

I'm not sure how you can tell it's immaculate from poor quality pictures.

There's a thread for high mileage cars. You don't need to pretend you're buying it. laugh

The husband of a woman at work has a first generation four cylinder SLK that's badged as a 32 AMG and always says that.

I have to bite my tongue and not point out what I know.


It seems like a pointless lie - if you know enough about cars to care, you can see instantly that it's not an AMG. If you're not interested enough to be able to tell, you won't care anyway.

Are you crazy for looking? No.
But you are stupid if you don’t scroll down to the bottom and see genuine, newer examples for the same money and a fraction of the mileage.
