This 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Special Edition was sold new by Leikin Motors Co. in Willoughby, Ohio, and subsequently relocated to Florida where it was acquired by the seller in 2021. The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Black Nappa leather, and power is from a supercharged 2.3-liter inline-four paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a power-retractable hard top, 17″ Moda wheels, air conditioning, heated seats, cruise control, and a factory sound system with CD changer.
The Special Edition was produced to commemorate the final model year of the R170 SLK, and this example is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744U). Exterior details include Special Edition fender badges and a Vario-Roof retractable hardtop.
Double-spoke 17″ Moda wheels are fitted with 225/45 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires showing 2018 and 2019 date codes. The power steering system was serviced in 2018, along with replacement of the brake pads and front rotors.
The cabin is upholstered in Black Nappa leather (861A) with a matching dash, door panels, and roll hoops. Amenities include heated seats, cruise control, air conditioning, a wind deflector, and a factory sound system with a CD changer.
An airbag steering wheel frames an instrument cluster that consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,250-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer shows just under 70k miles.
The supercharged and intercooled 2.3-liter inline-four features four valves per cylinder and was factory rated at 190 horsepower with 200 lb-ft of torque. Service in 2018 included replacement of the crankshaft oil seals and valve cover gaskets. The drive belts and fluids were checked in February 2021, and the seller had an oil change performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
