An affordable and sleek drop-top Mercedes is always going to be quite a head-turner, but this 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 is something much more. The AMG badge is earned with a 355 horsepower V8 that turns this into a rocket ship. So it can coddle you in luxury for in-town driving, but it also knows how to ignite your soul on the back roads.
This generation of the SLK is an awesome sports car. The sharply pointed nose and hood vents are directly borrowed from the SLR McLaren supercar. And since this is the hot AMG version, it really looks extra sinister in black. Widely flared fenders, a well-done spoiler, quad exhaust tips, and 16-spoke 18-inch wheels are all there to show the sporting nature even if no one sees the AMG badge. But the true trick was the electronic folding hardtop was so well engineered that the design makes for an outstandingly attractive coupe.
The interior is a terrific mix of sporty style and Mercedes luxury. It starts with the supremely comfortable leather bucket seats. The red inserts break up the full black presentation with a streak of added aggressiveness. The door panels were even done to match. Power seats and a power adjusting steering column mean it's easy to dial-in your ideal driving position. This is loaded with desirable luxuries, like power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, power steering, cruise control, and a premium AM/FM/CD stereo. Plus, this car also has great modern safety features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. But we bet your favorite features will be the dual-zone automatic climate control and heated seats. Together they can let you dial in the ideal atmosphere, even when the top is down.
AMG is awesome at adding performance, and they truly went for a hot rod kind of mentality with the SLK55. This took one of their best motors, the 5.5-liter fuel-injected V8, and it was shoehorned into the engine bay of one of their smallest vehicles around. It knows how to be a comfortable cruiser like a proper Mercedes should be, but a quick prod of the accelerator awakens a true V8 rumble. The full 355 horsepower gets unleashed, and the sport-tuned independent suspension makes this a road-carving drop-top. Another great AMG upgrade is 7G-Tronic transmission. It's a normal automatic when you want leisurely cruising, but the paddle shifters will let you tick through the gears faster than a manual when it's time for some backroads fun. This one also has been given some terrific investments. This includes over $3k for servicing the four-wheel disc brakes and $2,500 for a major service including new engine mounts. Plus, the pricey $$$$ and grippy Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires only have about 3k miles on them.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet and maintenance records. What might be the most impressive part of the car is the overall value. Not only is it a true German speed machine, but it's also quite clean, complete, and luxurious. And as affordable it is right now, you can even choose to take the money left in your budget to have the little things like a professional buff that really make this look like a million bucks. So when it looks so good today, and has so much potential for an awesome future classic, you know this is a deal that will be leaving us soon. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
