The Mercedes SLK / SLC R172 is the first small roadster that looks like its big brother, the SL. The advantage of this is that for considerably less money you get a car that looks almost like the SL. The similarity continues inside, where the quality and level of equipment has improved significantly. And it makes no difference whether you prefer the SLK250 CDI or the SLK55 / SLC43. Most of the engines guarantee a lot of fun.

This guide has been completely revised and reissued in February 2024. It covers both the SLK and the SLC and its comprehensive buyer's guide can help you find the right one for you. These are some of the topics covered:
  • Development of the R172
  • Troubleshooting the vario-roof
  • Engines from the SLC180 to the SLK55 AMG
  • Chassis and interior
  • R172 buyer's guide
  • The COMAND system
  • The option packages
  • The special editions from Edition 1 to Final Edition
  • The tuners, from Brabus and Carlsson to RENNtech
  • The VIN and data explained
  • SLK model codes
  • Technical data
  • Power and torque curves for each engine

The book ends with a free e-book offer. Enjoy the reading!

With over 25 books and e-books written about Mercedes-Benz cars, Bernd S. Koehling has proven to be an authority on the brand. Those books cover cars from the 1936 170V to the 2012 SL R231.

Bernd has been involved in the Mercedes scene since the early 1970s, when he restored his first 170 Cabrio B. Since then he has not only owned many classic Mercedes including a 220S, 300d Adenauer, 200D, 250SE, 280SE coupe 3.5, 300SEL, 350SL, 280E, 450SE, SLK230, he has also gained a wealth of knowledge and experience, which he shares with his readers in his books. Bernd has always considered Mercedes one of his favorite car manufacturers and has driven almost all Mercedes models built since the 1950s. His other weakness revolves around British cars, here especially Jaguar and Alvis.
