Is this the OEM Mercedes-Benz SLC300 manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Mercedes-Benz published for the SLC300, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

2 recalls are on federal record across the 2017–2020 SLC300, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Mercedes-Benz dealers.

Why do some SLC300 years cost more?

Every SLC300 year is $40.99.
