2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor - Manual

Highlights

• Highly original example
• In single ownership from new
• Desirable and scarce 6-speed manual gearbox
• 67,986 miles on the clock

The Appeal

The Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor combined the ingenuity of its Vario folding hardtop and ritzy, comfortable cabin with genuine sporting intent, offering a compact roadster that could serve as both a refined cruiser and an engaging driver's car. Finding one specified with the 6-speed manual gearbox is increasingly uncommon, as the majority left the factory with the automatic transmission - which we're sure will garner plenty of interest at auction.

This SLK 230 Kompressor has been with its owner from new and they tell us that they've enjoyed many comfortable long-distance cruises with it over the years. The latest MOT - valid until October 2026 - was advisory-free, and the car is ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
