This 2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Sport Kompressor was delivered new at Mercedes-Benz of Littleton in April 2000 and later sold as a Certified Pre-Owned example. Finished in Yellowstone (685U) over Black leather (221), this R170 SLK is powered by a 2.3-liter supercharged 4-cylinder power plant mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Features include the AMG Sport Package with sculpted bumpers and side skirts along with a Lorinser rear decklid spoiler, 17" AMG monoblock wheels, a power-folding hardtop, heated seats, CD changer and rear wind deflector. Maintenance in December 2021 included a new battery, new trunk actuators, K40 relay, new coil packs plugs and wires, and new mass airflow sensor. The most recent service in July 2023 included an oil & filter change. The odometer shows just over 69k original miles. This manual Yellowstone SLK is now offered by the seller with the original window sticker, stamped service book, factory books and literature, radio code cards, two keys, original tool roll, jack, spare tire, first aid kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title.
The body is finished in Yellowstone (685U) and is free of any rust or corrosion. Exterior features include headlamp washers and a power-retractable hardtop with an electrically heated rear window. A video showing the power folding hardtop operation is viewable below. This example also has a dealer-installed Lorinser rear decklid spoiler with Lorinser stamping on the underside. All of the Yellowstone paintwork is original and the Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage. The front end is free of rock chips or other imperfections as this car wore a front end clear bra from new until 2021 when it was professionally removed. The seller notes the far left lower mesh grill piece beside the driverside fog light is missing and a minor scuff shown on the rear passenger corner bumper. Detailed photos of the exterior are provided in the gallery.
The staggered 17” AMG monoblock 5-spoke wheels are specific to the Sport Package. The front wheels are wrapped in Hankook Ventus V2 tires measuring 225/45 with 2021 date codes while the rear are fitted with Starfire WR tires measuring 245/40 withh 2016 date codes. The OEM wheels still retain their factory machined lips and painted faces and show some minor curb rash and clear coat imperfections.
The interior is trimmed in Black leather (221A) with matching black carpets, dash and center console. The leather on both bucket seats are heated and in good condition. Additional features include manual climate control, cruise control, cup holders, and the factory Mercedes-Benz radio with hidden cassette and trunk-mounted CD changer. The door sills and pedals wear OEM metal sport trim with black rubber accents. Carbon fiber trim adorns the center console, air vents, and doors with no cracks or other visible imperfections in the carbon fiber. SLK-branded OEM rubber mats are installed and included with the sale.
The four-spoke Sport leather wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer, and additional readouts for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer reads just over 69k original miles. A digital clock and outside temperature gauge are also present.
The ‘Kompressor’ supercharged 2.3-liter M111 powerplant is rated at 185-hp and 200 lb-ft of torque from the factory. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. The M111 features a roots-style M62 Eaton supercharger and an air to air intercooler. Service in December 2021 included a new battery, new trunk actuators, K40 relay, new coil packs, plugs and wires, and new mass airflow sensor. Most recently an oil & filter service was performed in July 2023. The factory rear taillight recall item has already been completed.
The Carfax report lists no accidents or damage since new. This 5-speed Yellowstone R170 is now offered by the seller with the original window sticker, stamped service book, factory books and literature, radio code cards, two keys, original tool roll, jack, spare tire, first aid kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title.
A video of the top operation, driving footage, and a walk around of the car are viewable below.

Believe the description needs to be corrected to reflect manual transmission. Description says both Automatic Transmission and Manual 5-speed.
