I’ve received a lot of direct messages from bidders asking specific questions about the car so I thought it would help to share some of that info with the rest of the group before the end of the auction:

Good morning everyone and welcome to the final day of the auction!
#2000 MERCEDES BENZ SLK 230 KOMPRESSOR LIMITED EDITION MANUAL#
This manual Yellowstone SLK is now offered by the seller with the original window sticker, stamped service book, factory books and literature, radio code cards, two keys, original tool roll, jack, spare tire, first aid kit, digital “Star” service manual, and a clean Carfax report. The odometer presents only 62k original miles. Recent work includes a new battery, new trunk actuators, K40 relay, new coil packs plugs and wires, and new mass airflow sensor. Features include AMG styling with sculpted bumpers and side skirts along with a Lorinser rear decklid spoiler, power-folding hardtop, heated seats, automatic climate control, CD changer and rear wind deflector. Finished in Yellowstone (685U) over Black leather (221), this R170 SLK is powered by a 2.3-liter supercharged 4-cylinder power plant mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The new V-6 delivers a stronger punch and is quieter, more refined and more worthy of the brand.This 2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Sport Kompressor was delivered new at Mercedes-Benz of Littleton in April 2000 and subsequently sold as a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz to the second owner as it remained in the Virginia/Pennsylvania area through 2021.

The SLK230 is reasonably quick, but the engine is loud and coarse under full throttle not what you expect on a $40,000 car from a luxury maker such as Mercedes. With either engine, the standard transmission is a six-speed manual, and the optional transmission is a five-speed automatic with Touch Shift, which allows changing gears manually by tipping the gear lever left or right.Įlectronic Stability Program (a skid-control system), traction control, antilock brakes and side-impact airbags are standard on both models. The new 3.2-liter V-6 engine produces 215 horsepower, 25 hp more than the supercharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder. The V-6 model also gets power seats, a telescoping steering column, wood interior accents and a leather/wood steering wheel as standard equipment. Leather bucket seats are standard on both versions of the SLK, and metallic trim replaces carbon fiber dashboard trim on the four-cylinder model. It stores in the dual-hinged trunk, which opens at the front to accept the roof and at the rear to accept cargo. Pushing a button on the console raises or lowers the articulating top in less than 25 seconds. Operation of the retractable steel hardtop is unchanged. The V-6 SLK320 also has unique five-spoke wheels and a larger front air dam. The 2001 models get several visual changes, including new front and rear aprons, sculpted rocker panels and body-color door handles. With base prices of $38,900 for the SLK230 and $43,900 for the new SLK320, these roadsters are around half the price of Mercedes luxury roadster, the SL, which starts at $82,600. The SLK230 arrived as a 1998 model and the first modern car with a retractable hardtop roof. The new V-6 version joins the SLK230, powered by a supercharged four-cylinder engine. Mercedes gives its rear-drive SLK roadster a new V-6 engine and gets an early start on the 2001 model year with the addition of the SLK320 model.
