ronrossmotors Store 2002 MERCEDES BENZ SLK 230 - IMMACULATE- NO RESERVE It is wonderful to bear witness to the resurrection of the roadster in America. It all began with the Mazda Miata. Today, Porsche offers the Boxster, BMW has the South Carolina-built Z3, even Plymouth has the outrageous Prowler and evaluated here is the Mercedes-Benz of roadsters, the SLK 230 Kompressor. The interior is fairly simple with no frills: no wood can be found inside the SLK, just a carbon fiber appliqué. The leather seats are automatically adjustable through switches mounted on the driver and passenger seat.. The rest of the interior is well appointed with dual zone climate controls, integrated garage door opener, and a wind deflector to quiet turbulence during top-down cruising. This is a technological leap for a two seater. It has quad airbags to protect from frontal and side impact, yet you can use a specific Mercedes-Benz rear facing child safety seat. The car recognizes the child safety seat and automatically deactivates the airbags. The convertible top is also a technological marvel. While the top is up youd never realize it is a convertible; with the top stored neatly into the trunk youd never believe it is so solid with the top up. With the push of one button the windows automatically go down then the trunk tips open backwards, the top then releases from the windshield, folds in 2 pieces and disappears into the trunk in a 25 second ballet. It isnt all that fast but it is surprisingly agile. Hampering the performance ability of the SLK is the automatic transmission with which it has been relegated. Oddly enough the European version of this car can be had with a manual transmission, but not the US spec. The supercharged 4-cylinder engine produces 185hp, which is good power, yet I think this car could use more. If youre wondering about the name Kompressor, it means supercharged in German. The exterior is a beautifully sculpted car. The styling borrows from Mercedes-Benz of the past, especially the hood bulges. These bulges make the front end very visible. The only flaw in the styling may possibly be the small rear end. This small rear not only looks a bit odd but creates a trunk space problem. The trunk with the top up can hold a fair amount of luggage, with the top down luggage space is extremely limited; enough space for a couple of small duffels. This particular car that is up for sale is in excellent shape with the interior leather showing a small amount of wear on the drivers seat bolster but otherwise soft and superb. Also, some hairline scratches around the gear shifter but very superficial. Paint on the exterior is superb with lots of gleam and luster. Wheels are 18 inch with excellent tires and brakes. Car is complemented with ice cold air for summer and the heated seats for the winter.Also, do not forget that the car gets about 30 miles to the gallon on the open road. Please remember this is a no reserve auction so the high bidder at the end of the auction wins the car. For more information you can call me at 310-259-5755.
