1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230

1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230, Vivianite Green Metallic (279) with Black Leather (271)

Built September 1999. Rare colour, relatively low miles and air conditioning!

Details:

For all you nerds who have checked the MOT history and found the gap, it was on the Isle of Mann for all that time, hence no MOTs.

Bought for a Geoff Buys Cars £10 Car Giveaway, I paid the princely sum of £1850 after the guy said the £2000 that it was listed for was ‘non negotiable’ as he already dropped it from £2200.

Gotta be honest it was a little rustier than I had hoped, BUT it’s a great colour and it was delivered 50 miles or so to my door. I’ve driven it around a fair bit, and I think it’s got a cheeky exhaust on it. Also has some Brabus bits, which I can’t explain. Badge on the boot, badge on the grille and some wheel centre caps. Not to my taste, but you can decide what to do with it when it’s yours!

103,000 miles.

In Jan 2021 it had £437 spent on the NSF suspension mounting and general bits and bobs that were required for the MOT. March of 2021 saw 2x Michelin Pilot Sports fitted. Had a MAF sensor in December 2020.

In 2014 it had the arches cleaned and undersealed, along with new brake hoses, fluid, new drive belt and v belt, new blower motor and regulator and some new seals on the roof.

Comes with 1 key, all the manuals and bookpack and the V5, it’s a 5 owner car.

Drives sweet, nice and quick, roof and everything works a treat!
