Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Muscular, poised, predatory and competitive, those are the words used to describe the Mercedes-Benz SLK. Mercedes-Benz designers and engineers continue to remain the world leaders in creating a peerless and beautiful vehicle. For 1999, Mercedes Benz chose to unveil something different; a 2-passenger sports car with a supercharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine. Rather than a soft top though, the SLK featured a metal roof that powers down at the touch of a button into the trunk for stowage. Taking only 25 seconds, the trunk lid opened forward for cargo, and tilted from the rear to raise or lower the top. SLK stands for sporty, light, and compact in German. The design work behind the SLK stemmed from the compact C-Class sedan. The presence of the supercharged engine was marked with a 'Kompressor' badge on the front fenders. This Mercedes SLK offers a 5-speed manual transmission, for real sports car driving. Traction control, door-mounted side airbags and antilock brakes were standard features. (For 1997 the SLK was on Car and Driver's Ten Best list.) This Mercedes Benz SLK230 is special; due to the fact that it has a gorgeous hard top convertible with the rare manual 5 speed transmission. It has been extremely well kept and will make the future owner very happy!

This fun hardtop convertible had been a Florida car since 2004, then it was been kept in our Michigan garage, and never driven in the winter. This means it has been a rust free car it’s whole life. This Mercedes Benz had an original MSRP of $42,195 and is highly optioned. It is shown in Brilliant Red Metallic paint on black leather seats. The previous owner took meticulous care of this Mercedes Benz and it is currently in outstanding mechanical condition. My wife purchased this car for her summer "fun" car and it was never driven in the winter. The car has been dependable and a lot of fun, but she has now purchased another summer "fun" car and we don't feel we can spend adequate quality time with the SLK now. And as a true sports car, it has the 5 speed manual transmission, so you can really drive the car! If you are planning on traveling from far away to come see us, this vehicle would be perfectly safe and reliable to make a long ride home! Some of the photos make the car look orange(ish), but it really is RED. Comes with Owner’s Manual and Both Keys. Because it is a used car is does show some signs of wear, commensurate with age and mileage. It has a few scratches in the interior plastic trim and on the glove box door and a few minor scratches in the paint. The car is for sale locally and this auction may be cancelled at any time. Please feel free to call me with any specific questions that you have. This is a private sale, I am not a dealer.
