At the time of conception, AMG was producing a complete line of heavy weights powered by supercharged powerhouses including the world’s fastest production sedan. That said, it’s no surprise the SLK32 AMG was as enjoyable as it was. The difference, however, was the nimble nature of the R170 chassis compared to the SL of the era. The SLK32 felt equally at home on the highways and byways but definitely had an advantage in the mountains and canyons. We love seeing these cars cared for because often it took a true dster enthusiast to appreciate the complete spectrum of performance and enjoyment offered by the SLK32 AMG. With only 16k miles, this R170 AMG is ready for miles of top down fun for the next fortunate owner.
