Hello everyone! Back in June, I took my second ever trip to Germany. During that trip, I managed to film some cars, one of which was this beautiful 1996 SLK 230 Kompressor that is owned by a friend of mine who let me film it. Enjoy!
Thanks for this mate. I'm looking at buy one as a sort of weekend car, and i was desperately looking for a video with the engine running correctly so i can gauge the sound as it should sound. Also, it a very in depth overview of an SLK in great condition so I can view the second hand cars now with a greater understanding of what's good and what's bad. I really appreciate this video. Thanks a lot. P.S. If you ever see this message perhaps you could let me know if you installed the daylights yourself? and what the process was?
hey I really like this small car design. theres one for sale 1999 slk230. 136k miles. Auto. what problems should i look for? are they expensive to maintain? thanks .
That car is in great shape! I own a slk 200 and sharing videos about whenever i restore stg or solve a problem, enthusiast are welcone on my page too👍🏻🙂
It is. I love mine to death but in the 4 years I've owned it, 2016 was the only one to not have some sort of weird, expensive electrical failure occur. My car has had a lot of issues, especially concerning the security system. And if there's ANY problem in the security system, your car will not start. Everything else on the thing- engine, transmission, etc. feels bombproof.
+Kevin Lofur this car is almost 20 years old. And yes, indeed, german premium cars have (had) many options which make them expensive. But keep in mind : when you live in a central european country where average temperature is mostly about 15° celsius (60 farenheit), the aircondition was considered as an option. And heated leather seats as well. You don't need a warmed up ass on a leather seat when you have mostly 45 Fahrenheit on winters... ;-) In fact, I have a slk 170since 18 years, and I don't give a damn about that shit. I need brakes and steerings that are doing well after 100.000 miles on country lanes...
My understanding is that the SLK has 'Climate Control' as standard, with dual-zones - left and right side of the car. Just set one of the two temperature dials and the car does the rest. This particular car also features heated seats - a big plus for driving top down in cold weather.
Does anyone who has this car also has a multiple cd-changer in their glovesbox? I have that, but for some reason it's too small for a cd to fit, so I'm wondering how to use it... Could anyone help me out with that?
maybe the original connections in trunk, maybe a d.i.y. job or take to local stereo shop to re hook up, my all original is 6 cd changer I think it would be impossible to fit in glovebox, if not working buy a used one at a junkyard or on ebay then have them install in trunk
