Mercedes held 7 of the Mercedes SLC 200 final edition for the UK only to be registered on a 21 reg plate.. I have one purchased it brand new registered May 2021 only used as a second summer car at present Aug 2023 only 1,200 miles on the clock ....Very lucky to of required it from Mercedes dealership.
I also have a 200, which was registered in May 2021. I got the impression from the discount the dealership was very keen to offload it asap, as they were last built in 2020. I love it, happy I have it, but I do have a few more miles on it than yours :) ( 10k )
Love my 19, it's a downgrade from my sl500 but for the money it's well worth it , the 500 was more of a status thing for other mercedes owners ,this one turns just as many heads fun as hell for weekend cruises down at the beach for a hell if a lot less money and maintenance cost so for me anyway its a win win
My favourite is the SLK 350, a decent balance of power and running costs.I think the 420 BHP of the 55 is a bit excessive in this country,although the sound is superb.The best SLC has to be the 43.although I did have a 300 for a while and found it quick enough.I find the sweet spot for me for this type of car is around 300 BHP.
I have an SLC43 as well, mine has the Weistec W3 turbo upgrade, and water meth injection. The torque is insane and makes an already fast car a total lout
We're almost the same height so you'll fit in just fine! I always have the seat as low as possible and almost as far back as it can possibly go with the backrest quite upright. There will still be an inch or two above your head and the steering wheel extends quite far out so you should easily be able to get comfortable.
i'm so high on blow i can't tell if that's a green screen at 4:30 or if the cars really there... thank you for the video i'm looking at the slc vs sl450 personally, don't need the v8 of the sl550 tbh
It's a Fossil Nate Chronograph which I bought in 2014 and it's been on my wrist ever since! Expect a battery to last 2 years max with this watch though - the gunmetal grey version is very much on my wishlist. It has been the subject of many comments and yours is the first positive one!
I have a R172 2012 SLK 55 AMG and it has all that is shown there for a 2020 car, not that I give a shit, love my 55 with that ballsy bark when you put the foot down and sink further backwards into the seat. Good review though, 👍.
Thx for a nice review. I am in the marked for a Slk or Slc. I am in some doubt if I should choice the Slk350 or the Slc 300. I do like the V6 sound very much and a V6 always runs smooth but as I can understand the Slc also should have a nice sound in the dynamic mode. What would be your choice of the 2 models and please explain why.
A great and tough question! The SLC has infotainment which is a little more futureproof than the SLK but the 3.5 litre engine is wonderful. I found that the fuel economy of the SLC 300 was nearly identical on mixed routes to the SLK 350 but the extra two gears in the SLC make for super quiet motorway running. My sensible head says test drive them both and see what you think of the engines. The petrolhead and lover of a big naturally aspirated engine in a small chassis says SLK 350 for the effortless performance and tremendous noise. Just ensure that all recalls have been carried out and a good main dealer or specialist service history is essential too.
I have a 2017 SLC 250D bought secondhand in July 2022 with 22,000 on the clock. Around eight weeks ago Apple Car Play stopped working...... I can still get Spotify thro my IPhone connected by the lead into the first usb under the central armrest, but no other apps on Car Play. Can you tell me please, what's going on, how do I restore Apple Car Play ?
This happens sometimes - try pressing the TEL button next to the CD slot, press it again and it should bring up a rotating menu. Twist the COMAND wheel around until you see Apple CarPlay then select it - that should sort it!
Xenon and LED headlights on SLKs and SLCs have always been surprisingly rare in the UK! I believe that the SLC 43 Final Edition was the last AMG available with halogen lights in the UK...this information may come in handy in an obscure automotive trivia quiz someday.
R172 SLKs are an absolute joy to own and drive. I bought a 2014 in 2020 and plan to drive the wheels off of it.
I have a same plan with you in Beijing China.😉
Such a good review
Convinced me I had to get one, picked up my AMG SLC43 from JCT600 Mercedes AMG Sheffield
Beautiful car with an amazing soundtrack
Great review - especially what to look for at end.

Is that true? Mine is an FE Premium on a 21 plate.
Wow hope you enjoy it

I have an SLC43 AMG. And it's a lovely car. Fun. Fast. Reliable. What more can you ask for?
I have had a lot of fun in the SLC43! Compact, noisy rockets like that always put a smile on my face.
Indeed.
I have an SLC43 as well, mine has the Weistec W3 turbo upgrade, and water meth injection. The torque is insane and makes an already fast car a total lout
At 6ft. 2inchs or 185m how would I fit inside?

@@LandLAutomotive Thanks for responding.
Muito boa a explanação sobre o veiculo.
Riqueza em detalhes.
Parabéns.
This slc looks like slk from 2001 love it
i'm so high on blow i can't tell if that's a green screen at 4:30 or if the cars really there... thank you for the video i'm looking at the slc vs sl450 personally, don't need the v8 of the sl550 tbh
I've got a 99 slk 230 in yellow, an r172 12 slk 250 in grey metallic, and this little guy in yellow, would be a nice upgrade and replace both.
Saw my 1st one actually today!! In yellow even. Here in Ontario lm not sure they were available here in Canada.
Considering it's an interesting colour and a final edition also, that the stitching inside is not yellow also, to match the bodywork.
Considering Final Edition in Malaysia.
video starts at 4:00. ur welcome
Do really like the large watch though! Can you please tell me what is it?
Hideous.

I’m 1.88 meters tall can I fit comfortably in vehicle?
Easily! I'm the same height and I fit with room to spare
What's that in feet
I hope they’ll be a new revised slc that looks better and faster
Me too. I think once Porsche bring an electric roadster to the market, the "big three" will get working on a competitor.
No wind deflectors.

Shame they never fixed the scuttle shake.
I prefer the look of the older 2015 model

SLC 43 is the v6, 300 is 2 Litre

Thanks very much ! That's done the trick.
Even the local Mercedes Benz dealership couldn't fix it as easy as this. 👍
who orders such a base model final edition car? halogen headlights in 2019? mercedes sportscar with a manuel? o.O really curious.

The manual transmission that they used for this car is a joy. I love it in my 2014 SLK.
