1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class

Do to a recent purchase of a Jaguar XKR I must sell my 1998 Mercedes SLK230. This has been a Toronto, Canada car from new. The previous owner purchased the car in 2007 at Caliber Motors for $27K. The car sports its factory original ‘Glacier White’ paint with complimentary designo two-tone black & blue interior (extremely rare colour combo). This car has been meticulously maintained by a true car enthusiast and has therefore received all required maintenance on an ongoing basis. This car has been part of our collection since 2011 and no expense was spared on the car. The car will be sold certified & E-tested. The paint on the car is in showroom condition (having been waxed weekly), and the body is free of any dents or scratches. The interior shows very well, the two-tone seats are in great shape along with the carpet, dash, door panels, etc.. only interior flaw is minor color wear on the centre console, a very common issue for these cars. The car is equipped with working A/C, heated seats, dual climate control, power windows/locks, Bose Sound system with 6CD changer. The retractable automatic hardtop works flawlessly. The car also comes with all original owners manuals, tools, spare tire, and a complete binder with full maintenance history since my ownership. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and can be driven anywhere. The odometer reads 135K, miles, the engine starts right up, pulls strong and doesn’t burn a drop of oil. The automatic 5spd transmission shifts thorough the gears smooth & swiftly. The car is a real pleasure to drive. All the electrics are in perfect working order with the exception of the fuel gauge, its intermittent & reads correctly below half a tank. This car has been shown at many local GTA car meets, and gets compliments all the time. You will not find a nicer SLK230. Listed below are some of the exterior upgrades & mechanical work that I have done to the car over the past 4 years. I have all receipts and documentation for all work completed. It was regularly serviced at Mercedes Benz Mississauga & later at a European specialty shop.
