If you've been searching for a 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK 350 Roadster for sale in Novato, CA, your search ends here. Active Auto Sales, located in Novato in Marin County, has this stunning two-door convertible in stock and ready for a test drive. With just 67,680 miles on the clock and the kind of timeless AMG-influenced styling that never goes out of fashion, this SLK 350 is a rare opportunity to own a genuine German sports roadster at a used-car price point.

About This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 Roadster

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 sits at the top of the SLK lineup for good reason — it pairs a high-output V6 engine with a retractable hardtop roof, genuine sport suspension tuning, and a cockpit designed entirely around the driver. At under 68,000 miles, this example is well within what most Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts would consider low mileage for a vehicle of this generation. Whether you're cruising the coastal roads of Marin County or carving through the hills above Mill Valley, this roadster delivers the kind of driving experience that puts a genuine smile on your face every single time.

The retractable hardtop — a hallmark of the SLK-Class — means you get the open-air thrill of a convertible without sacrificing weather protection or cabin refinement. Drop the top in seconds and enjoy the California sun, or raise it and enjoy a quiet, insulated interior that rivals a coupe. This is a true dual-purpose sports car.

2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 Performance and Engine

Under the hood of this SLK 350 lives a 3.5-liter V6 engine — the same basic architecture Mercedes-Benz used across its core sport and luxury lineup during this era. In the SLK 350, this engine produces approximately 300 horsepower, giving the lightweight roadster a power-to-weight ratio that makes it genuinely quick in everyday driving.

Paired with a 7-speed Touch Shift automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, power delivery is smooth yet responsive. The Touch Shift system allows paddle-style manual gear selection when you want more engagement, then slips back into full automatic mode when you're relaxed. RWD on a sports roadster this size means the SLK handles with a natural balance and rear-end liveliness that front-wheel-drive alternatives simply can't replicate. Expect confident on-ramp merges, spirited passing power on Highway 101, and a genuinely rewarding canyon-road experience throughout the Marin hills.

Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 Features and Interior

The SLK 350 trim level brings a well-equipped cabin that punches above its price class in the used market. Standard features on this generation SLK 350 include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated power-adjustable sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated controls, and AMG-styled instrumentation.
 

Technology and Comfort

The dashboard layout is classic Mercedes-Benz — driver-focused, logically arranged, and built with materials that still feel premium years later. Expect COMAND infotainment integration, a premium audio system, power windows and mirrors, and keyless entry. The Sport Package on SLK 350 models typically added larger AMG-style alloy wheels and sport-tuned suspension settings, giving the car an even more planted, purposeful stance. Buyers coming from daily-driver sedans will immediately notice how snug and intentional every surface of the SLK cabin feels — there's nothing wasted, everything is within reach.

Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 Reliability and Ownership

The SLK 350 of this era has earned a solid reputation among Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts and independent mechanics alike. The 3.5-liter V6 is one of the most proven engines in the modern Mercedes lineup, known for longevity when properly maintained. Common ownership feedback highlights excellent long-term durability of the retractable hardtop mechanism — a concern some buyers have with convertibles — as the SLK's Vario-Roof system is considered one of the most reliable in the industry.

Routine maintenance items like spark plugs, air filters, and fluid services are straightforward for any qualified European-vehicle shop. At 67,680 miles, this SLK is far from worn out — many well-maintained examples continue performing flawlessly past 150,000 miles. Buyers should verify service history and ensure the transmission fluid, differential fluid, and brake components are up to date, all of which are standard inspection points when buying a used European sports car.
