Well done! I bought a 1997 SLK230 just over two years ago for £600. He wouldn’t take my £500 bid offer!! It had 192,000 mls on the clock and had done very little for 5 years. I put it in for an MOT to get a list of faults to fix and it went straight through! Why the vendor hadn’t MOT’d it, I have no idea! Put two new tyres on the back, new brake pads after MOT, gave it a service including changing the transmission oil. It drives beautifully!! 😊
In my own time I have removed from wings, cleaned off rust & repainted. Same underneath, sub frame etc. Kurust and Hammerite under seal spray can paint.
Emissions a bit touch and go. Turned out to need new seals on air intake & even dip stick! (Smoke bomb test). Last indicators packed up. Turned out to be the or an ECU module. Replacement £50 ebay.

Thanks for watching! I’m glad to hear about your SLK as well. It’s sounds like a lovely car and a great story behind it. Second hard parts can often prove a great way of keeping these cars on the road at a reasonable cost.

I have a 1999 Slk230 as well. 107,000 miles on it. I’m am about to change the motor mounts, already did the transmission mount. I’ve fixed other minor issues. You will love this car

[@stevensfourwheels]

Hi Ron, I’m glad to hear that you’re another happy SLK owner. Good luck with those motor mounts. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@edgarpaul001]

500 pounds that's a super good deal ... make sure you take a good check on the engine..

[@stevensfourwheels]

Thanks! It was an offer I couldn’t turn down. Thankfully I did get one of the technicians at the Mercedes dealer I work at give the car a once over.

I not long ago brought a 2000 r170 in black. 35,000 miles on the clock ! Was dry stored for many years A real find. it is 2.3 and manual with black and siam interior. I am hoping to find some meets to take it to this summer. You got a good deal for £500 there for sure.

[@stevensfourwheels]

Thanks for watching. I’m glad to hear that your enjoying your SLK. It sounds lovely with a good back story. I hope you do get out and enjoy some drives and shows, for me that is what the SLK is all about!

I saw an up-rated pulley conversion on ebay recently for less than £300. Gives 230bhp I've been told.

[@stevensfourwheels]

If I ever look to modify the car then that might be an option I’ll look into. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ericwright8498]

Looks in decent shape for the money. Will you be doing some follow up videos?

[@stevensfourwheels]

Hi Eric, thanks for watching! If you go onto my channel, there is a playlist called Project £500 SLK which I’ve just uploaded part 10 to today. Enjoy 👍

[@Georsh03]

Nice car! Im looking for one too

[@stevensfourwheels]

Thank you! I’m hope you find one soon 👍

[@ericwright8498]

As for a name it should be German if course. Maybe Hans or Helmut

[@stevensfourwheels]

The SLK still remains unnamed but thanks for the suggestions 👍

How does the underneath of the car look? Much rust?

[@stevensfourwheels]

I didn’t get change to look under the car myself but as I (and work for) brought it from a Mercedes dealer, they did a used car check and they did look underneath the car for me as part of that check.
