1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 – Rare 5-Speed Manual – 61k Miles - $7,500
QR Code Link to This Post
If you’re looking for a fun, lightweight, and collectible roadster, this is it. I’m selling my well-loved 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor with a rare 5-speed manual transmission—a true driver’s car that’s becoming harder and harder to find.
This SLK has been garaged its entire life, meticulously maintained, and comes with only 61,000 miles on the clock. I have all the paperwork, including the original owner’s manual.
Highlights:
Rare 5-speed manual transmission – more engaging and collectible than the common automatic
Supercharged 2.3L engine pulls hard and runs beautifully
Ice-cold A/C, dual-zone climate control, and premium leather interior
Retractable hardtop works flawlessly
Recent maintenance: oil change, starter, serpentine & supercharger belts, and tensioner
Always garaged, well-cared-for, and low mileage
This car is 25+ years old, so it’s not perfect—there’s a small crack in the fiberglass front bumper and a few interior trim pieces show some age. The price reflects these cosmetic imperfections.
Why I’m Selling:
I commute over 80 miles a day and don’t want to rack up miles on this special car. I’d be open to trades for a Prius or Lexus hybrid—something more commuter-friendly.
If you’re looking for a fun, tossable roadster with Mercedes luxury that’s destined to appreciate, this SLK is a great choice.
📍 Located in NW San Antonio
💰 $8,000 OBO (or trade for a nice Lexus or Prius)
