1997 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor – $11,500

The SLK – a compact, luxurious sports model with folding hardtop roof and a perky supercharged engine was a formula for success.

Standard equipment in Australia included leather upholstery, power windows, power steering, dual-zone climate control and alloy wheels. Safety features include front and side driver and passenger airbags, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control. 

In October 1997 this car was delivered new in Sydney and features the ‘sport package’ upgrades. This includes an optional design of alloy wheels, slightly lowered suspension, dual exhaust outlets, sideskirts and the lower section of the bumpers and grille colour-coded.

Ten years ago the owner purchased the SLK as an ‘extra’ car for weekend open-top motoring, to go with his vintage MG. The SLK saw little use in his decade of ownership and today the odometer reading is 128,000km. I sold the car recently and the new owner has since found a unique SLK with just a few hundred km on it from new. Hence this car’s back on the market.

The car starts instantly, runs smoothly and is completely easy to drive. The owner assures that everything works as it should.

These SLKs enjoy Mercedes-Benz quality and luxury and this two-seater sports model ads a lot of fun to the equation. This is a good, straight, well-presented example in above average condition. Unbeatable value…
