1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Convertable with Rare Manual 5-Speed Sports Car

1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230

Muscular, oised, redatory and competitive, hose 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, ercedes 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, he SLK featured a metal roof that powers down at the touch of a button into the trunk for stowage. Taking only 25 seconds, he trunk lid opened forward for cargo, nd tilted from the rear to raise or lower the top.
SLK stands for sporty, ight, nd 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, or real sports car driving. Traction control, oor-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!

Please note that some of the photos make the color of the car appear "orangish". It is really a very nice RED.

This beautiful 1997 Mercedes Benz SLK230 Kompressor, as only 87,600 original miles. This beautiful hardtop convertible had been a Florida car since 2004, hen it was been kept in our Michigan garage, nd 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 was never driven in the winter. The car has been dependable and a lot of fun, ut she has now purchased another summer "fun" car and we don't feel we can spend adequate quality time with the car now. And as a true sports car it has the 5 speed manual transmission, o you can really drive the car! If you are planning on traveling from far away to come see us, his vehicle would be perfectly safe to make a long ride home!

Comes with Owner’s Manual and Both Keys.
