Used Mercedes-Benz SLC for sale

What types of used Mercedes-Benz SLC cars are there?

A used Mercedes SLC (2011-2020) was the replacement for the popular two-seater SLK sports car, offering a sporty driving experience with splashes of luxury elements.

This hardtop car was built up until 2020 when it was discontinued, but there are still plenty of used examples up for grabs.

Trim levels include the Sport, AMG Line and range-topping AMG model, each with different tech and engine options.

What features does the Mercedes-Benz SLC have?

An SLC Mercedes for sale comes well-equipped straight out of the factory, even in basic trim.

You'd be hard-pressed to find the difference between the SLK and SLC when you look inside, but there are a few refreshes to note.

One of these is a larger seven-inch infotainment screen that comes with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Its tech may not be as advanced as newer Mercs, but when the roof is down, does that really matter?

Move up to the AMG models and you get fancy extras such as a sportier exterior, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, sports seats and the optional Airscarf, which warms your neck on those cold sunny mornings when you have the roof down.

Speaking of the roof, this will retract in around 20 seconds and can be done at driving speeds of up to 25mph.

Is the Mercedes-Benz SLC reliable?

Mercedes ranks well for reliability and has been making dependable cars for decades.

In addition, all Mercedes cars come with a three-year/unlimited mileage warranty that can be transferred to subsequent owners.

While the SLC hasn't been independently safety-tested by Euro NCAP, we know it will be safe judging by the rest of the Mercedes range.

Plus, being a convertible means the SLC has rollover protection that'll ensure you're safe in an accident scenario.

How much does the Mercedes-Benz SLC cost to run?

A Mercedes-Benz SLC for sale can be had with a range of petrol and diesel engine options making up the SLC 180, SLC 200, SLC 300, SLC 250 d and AMG SLC 43 models.

The standard car is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine in the standard car and a more powerful 3.0-litre V6 engine in the AMG model.

While it's technically a sports car, Mercedes is mindful of its miles per gallon figures, giving the SLC a claimed 43.5mpg for the petrol and 64.2mpg for the diesel.

Another cost to consider is car insurance, which will vary depending on the driver.

An SLC for sale sits in between insurance groups 41 and 47, which is at the higher end of the scale but is expected for a car of this remit.

Who is the Mercedes-Benz SLC suitable for?

A Mercedes SLC for sale is the perfect car for couples and parents who are after something to cruise around in at the weekend.

Whether it's for the luxury aspect or the fact it's a convertible, there are many reasons a used SLC is an attractive proposition.

Its closest rivals include the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 and BMW Z4.
