About This Vehicle
The SLK 230 Kompressor R170 was Mercedes-Benz's answer to the roadster renaissance of the 1990s, and the Vario-Roof retractable hardtop was the technical showpiece that set it apart from everything else in its class. Press a button and the steel roof folds away in 25 seconds, turning a secure, weatherproof coupe into an open roadster and back again. The 2.3-litre supercharged M111 Kompressor engine paired to a five-speed automatic delivers effortless highway performance and a distinctive supercharger note. Now over 25 years old and firmly in modern classic territory, clean Kompressor SLKs hold their value steadily with a growing collector audience that appreciates the engineering behind the badge.
Photos show this Designo Metallic Blue R170 in strong cosmetic condition. The paint carries a deep, consistent gloss with no panel misalignment or signs of structural repair visible from any angle. The Vario-Roof is confirmed operational, shown in both raised and lowered positions through the photo set. AMG-branded five-spoke alloy wheels are fitted with "AMG" designation visible on the spokes, paired with a factory AMG badge on the boot lid, confirming this car was specified with the AMG Sport Package. The signature red "KOMPRESSOR" valve cover is clearly visible in the engine bay, with the M111 presenting cleanly with no obvious fluid weeping. Inside, the two-tone black and tan perforated leather is in good overall condition. The original Becker single-DIN cassette head unit is present alongside the carbon-fibre-look centre console trim. A service booklet with entries from 2001 through at least 2008 is present alongside the Australian 1998 owner's manual supplement, confirming this car was properly maintained in its first decade. Build plate in the driver's door jamb confirms VIN WDB1704472F102255, manufacturer Daimler-Benz AG, build date October 1998, and paint code 352.
