2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK230

Description

The first-generation Mercedes SLK is poised to become quite an interesting classic. After all, it combined the premium elements of the Benz name and folding hardtop, and then presented it to the public at an obtainable price. Today, this 2002 SLK230 still caries the premium quality but at even more affordable value.

There's a reason why this color is called Brilliant Silver. It looks great on these Mercedes cars... almost like it's bathed in chrome. Of course why it really looks this great is the factory paint has been babied for this car's entire life. The SLK was an instant hit when it arrived on the scene because Mercedes gave you a sports car that didn't have any compromises. It's a sleek roadster, and more importantly the electronic folding hardtop was so well engineered, that the design makes for an outstandingly attractive coupe. It's this combination that will always give this first-generation SLK a desirable place in the market that arguably will reach the same timeless classic status as the original Mustang.

Inside is true Mercedes-Benz quality. You feel it the moment you sit in the supremely comfortable bucket seat and grab the leather wrapped steering wheel. This is personal sports car, and you're reminded of that by everything from machined aluminum dash panels to the seating for only two. Like any good Mercedes, this one comes loaded with features like automatic climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, and an AM/FM stereo with CD changer that's powerful enough to still play your tunes loud while speeding with the top down. But more than just luxury, this car also has great modern safety features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes.

The SLK230 really did come with the perfect motor. After all, the tradition of the small European roadster is a four-cylinder motor, but this required a power boost for modern times. That's why car's original 2.3-liter turbocharged motor fits the profile perfectly. The 195 hp motor pulls nicely thanks to a well-sorted five-speed automatic transmission. The fully independent suspension is quite sporty, but it never loses that Mercedes luxury feeling. Add in power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, and this one has the right recipe for a well-mannered sports car. That's why the trunk can still hold your weekend bags even with the top down, because this is the perfect backroads getaway vehicle.

This is premium and affordable fun that also comes poised to be a future classic (that's why you also get the original owner's manual.) You've loved the SLK since day one, and now is your opportunity to get a gem for less than the price of a used economy car. Call today!!!
