1999 Mercedes-benz Slk 230 Kompressor *** Super Clean & Low Miles! *** on 2040-cars

Southern California Car

I purchased this car from the original owner in San Diego with less than 11,000 miles in September 2013. The previous owner spent long periods traveling abroad, so the car was a driven maximum of only a couple thousand miles a year at best.  After driving the up to Northern California and heading to the San Francisco Bay Area on the weekends, odometer reads just over 15,600 mile. 

The car never was really serviced beyond the normal oil service changes, so I had the car inspected and serviced to comply with any service bulletins and fix any issues.

Interior Condition

These cars had a rubberized colored coating applied to the dash and center consul. And, this coating was color matched to the seat inserts.  Over time, this coating peals to reveal the black surfaces underneath.  So, when the red, white and blue interiors began to peal, the black surfaces would show though and really distract the look of those wonderful colors.  The Charcoal Interior (like this one) at least does not draw you eye so quickly to the pealing. Most folks either live with it, remove the coating entirely or have it reapplied.

Exterior Condition

The paint on this car is like new! However, there are a few minor issues for a car that’s 15 years old. There are several millimeter size rock chips to the paint on the front, and a paint scratch on the divers side front fender well. I photographed the fender, but not the front as the chips where too small to photograph.

Engine Compartment

The engine compartment is clean and everything is easily accessible. These early models are easy to work on yourself, as the engine compartment predates all the plastic panels covering the engine found on the later releases and does not have all the complicated electronics and software found on those later models as well.

Trunk

The truck is absolutely flawless and looks the same as the day it left the factory. Inside the truck is the six cassette CD player, First-Aid Kit, Spare Tire and tools.

I have AutoCheck’s Vehicle History Report from when I purchased the car and it rates the car at 90.
