44k-Mile 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK280

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK 280 was part of the second-generation SLK-Class (R171), introduced in 2004 as a compact luxury roadster blending performance and style. Positioned as the entry-level model in the SLK lineup, the SLK 280 featured a 3.0-liter V6 engine producing 228 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed automatic. This setup delivered a 0–60 mph time of approximately 6.1 seconds. Safety and technology were strong points, with standard stability control, traction control, ABS, and multiple airbags.

The SLK 280 retained the hallmark retractable hardtop, transforming from coupe to convertible in seconds, a signature feature that the company said, “Even when it’s not being driven, the SLK is artistry in motion. In just 22 seconds, it converts from a seductive hardtop coupe to an open-air extrovert.”

Inside, the cabin featured leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, and a driver-focused layout. This SLK includes the optional Airscarf system where warm air is extruded from vents at neck level. As Motor Trend reported in 2006, “The SLK 280 delivers a refined balance of performance and comfort. Its retractable hardtop remains a standout feature, offering coupe-like security with open-air freedom.”
