Used Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK230 Kompressor for sale near me

Our first experience at Whitewater Motors was a very positive one. From the moment we walked into the building and were greeted by Bob to the time we signed all the paperwork with Mike. All our questions were answered and they made purchasing a car a pleasant and relaxed experience. Never hovering or pushing. We will definitely be recommending them to family and friends.

The C230 Kompressor (2.4 liter) engine is SUPER dependable…IF the car has been maintained. If you don’t have a service record and are not good at detecting problems on a test drive then do yourself a favor and spend the +/- $300 to get it inspected at a competent Benz garage. Mine has 200,000 miles and have never had ANY big expense…most I ever had to put into it is about $400…which is what it cost to replace factory front brakes, or to service the auto trans with fluid and filter. change. Only mechanical problem I have ever had are worn cam sensors, which is common and costs about…$400 to repair. My experience after driving the car for ten years is that parts are affordable on eBay…used lower mileage engine: <$1000. Main thing is to replace supercharger oil if it starts to whine louder. YouTube has a video on how to do that w/o removing the supercharger. Lastly, while I maintain the car, I also drive the holy xxxx out of it! It’s only going to start leaking oil if you don’t get it changed often enough, or if you drive it like an old lady who is not from Pasadena…

An excellent car buying experience. The staff were pleasant and helpful. They took time to go over all the system functions of the car. Highly recommended.

Just sold mine after owning it for eight plus years. While I loved the looks of the SLK and I did enjoy owning and driving it, I was never that crazy about the spartan interior. For a Mercedes that cost $40K new, I thought it was rather plain Jane. I also wasn't happy with things like the door panels delaminating, the dash finish scaling off and probably most of all, the dang roof...I expected better from a Mercedes Benz. The roof went kaput three times while I owned the car and I got sick of the bother and the cost to deal with it. I would have also hoped it would hold its value better. I sold it rather cheap despite having put thousands into it. It's a cool little hardtop convertible but if you buy one, beware...be prepared to sink some $ into it.

I have been a big fan of the Mercedes Benz motorcars for years, and have always admired the SL's. I found a 1998 SLK230 advertised on my local marketplace on Facebook of all places. I have now owned this stunning little car for going on two years. I have put very little work into it since I purchased it. Oil change, coolant flush, injectors cleaned and changed out the shocks for a set of Bilstein b6's instead of the b4's, which gave the car a little stiffer ride. One of the main lifting cylinders for the roof sprung a leak and now the top does not work. Just waiting to replace it. This seems like a typical problem facing the older SLK's. Mine is the sunburst yellow like the one pictured. After 24 years the paint still gleams bright. I have received so many admiring comments on this car. People can't believe it's as old as it is. If you ever run across one, my advice would be grab it before it gets away. this seems like a typical problem facing the older SLK

Austin was very helpful and completely honest about the truck I was looking to buy, even though I found one closer to my location, they helped me negotiate a better price for the one in my town! Who does stuff like that?! They're integrity and drive to help you in any way deserves your business. I was astounded, by their service and follow up helping me, even though I live over 400 miles away from Bend, Oregon. AMAZING. I highly recommend them!! Josh and Austin are the flippin' GOLD STANDARD for "used" Salesmen. The only reason I didn't buy the truck from them was because my credit union would'nt let me purchase a vehicle from out of state.

Bought this little Gem off of a friend of mine, It has 100,000 miles on it but you wouldn't know it! Drives and handles like a dream, has plenty of power the supercharger works well very impressive!!!!! Never had a Mercedes before but would not hesitate to buy another one. this little roadster is just too much fun!!! :)

My 2001 SLK 320 is a great car, it's fast,dependable , gets good gas mileage, looks and looks great. I get a lot of compliments daily, for being over 20 years old that's saying a lot.

Quick and nimble, sound system is bliss, 98 model all german made parts before the nasty Chrysler merger that saw quality decrease after the 99 models. Love this little thing!

This was one of the most honest dealers we have ever worked with. Not only did they offer to replace the windshield (without being asked), they gave us some gas money for gas since the gas tank was nearly empty. I most heartily give this dealership 5 stars!

I have a SLK230 since 1999. Drove it from WA state to California on Highway 1 multiple times. I also drive it every weekend for trips to nearby towns and during the week to get a coffee. It is a great little car with a bit odd engine sound, but it has been going on without an issue forever.

Yes very easy to deal with polite, answered all my questions from A-to-Z Very professional. Explain the whole car to me. May be very comfortable. Thank you so very much Thomas Magliochetti

Most people see these early SLKs and think they are expensive to fix and hard to maintain. In reality, they are one of the most serviceable cars made. Almost everything is easily accessible and owner serviceable. Tons on videos and online articles exist to walk you through basic maintenance and common repairs. But you won't need that often as these cars are extremely reliable and will easily last past 200k miles. The paint is extremely durable and you'll find the oldest examples to still be glossy and without many paint chips. The interior is known to have issues with the paint wearing off the hard plastic surfaces, but touch-up paint is available to keep it looking tidy. Most of the first generation cars are well below $10k now with many excellent examples in the $4-5k range. Many are low mileage and in excellent shape, having been owned by those who only drove them on the weekends during fair weather. A lot of car for the money and a better investment than a Miata , Boxster, TT or Z3.

I got the pleasure of buying a car from Mickey Dolan! The service was great, I test drove multiple vehicles, found the best one, got the best possible price (checked multiple places), and just had a great overall experience. I have now had the car for a couple weeks and have found nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

I bought the car for the purpose of relaxing after work on winding roads near our home. It has been one of the best auto purchases I have made. It is fun to drive, is very responsive, with a strong and reliable V 6 engine. It has been garaged since new, and I was careful to avoid driving it on salt treated roads. The paint and finish are pristine, the interior very good. Leather seats have no cracks or splits.

great service and easy transaction, Tim was great and knowledgeable on the Audi Q7 that was purchased. car is running fantastic already put 400 miles on it in the first couple days on a family road trip and had zero issues with the car, this company kept in contact with me after the purchase to make sure everything was to satisfaction, will do business with again.

owned since May 2022. Great car. Stick shift. Runs like a top. 75k now. Bought at 70k. Sturdy feel. Retractable top works like a charm..

It is so sharp. Everyone comments on it and is shocked that its 20 years old. Great ride. Very dependable and comfortable. I am going to buy the new version of it.

This is the best dealership in the midwest. Be sure to ask for Nick as your salesman!

This car was my happiness but it burned along with my home and town of paradise I miss it more than I thought possible I was left with no home town girlfriend job or ride I miss Janice the most my mercedes pretty xxxxed up huh?

GOD Bless my new brothers General MGR Will, Owner Scott, Salesman Gabe. I am Thankful to GOD the Father and his son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving me patience to purchase a really nice 2007 Chevy Tahoe LTZ no hassle, honest, professional, extremely high morals and ethics, believers in faith. After months of dealing with evil at big dealerships. I shielded their arrows and let GOD show me the way and that was Select Motors. Probably spent 30 minutes 15 minute test drive and 15 minute deal made. No 3 hours or more at big dealerships where they just push and push, lie, bait and switch. Your not even treated like a person at those places. Select Motors has an A+BBB rating. No complaints in 20 years. Outstanding!!!! Avoid the evil dealerships and go to a great buying experience at Select Motors. You will never go anywhere else to buy a vehicle again. I'm a brother for life with these 3 Gentlemen and I found a safe haven to purchase cars there for me and my family for life. Very Thankful for Will, Gabe and Scott.

The SLK is fun, solid, handles like a razor, yet has that "carved from granite" M-B quality feel. Elegant, though not showy - as a piece of history, the SLK is the first hardtop Mercedes convertible.

Milt was very knowledgeable, not pushy, asked good questions, made many phone calls to find exactly the vehicle we were looking for. He was good about pointing out things that we may have been overlooking. I appreciated the friendly and professional service.

Excellent car. Roof is working perfect and the engine has all its power. Like brand new. It reaches 100 miles in a few seconds. The cruise control works as brand new.

Great purchasing experience on a new M5 at BMW Fort Myers today. Just stopped in for cars and coffee and saw the perfect color combo. Hard to get me out of my standard Isle of Mann green standard tranny M3 but this is a fantastic car.

A very fun car to drive and you miss it if you don't drive it almost every day. The car is the most reliable car I have had in many years. and was easy for me to do my own maintenance on. Bought this car when it had 100,000 miles on it. I have owned this car for 7 years.

Smoothest car buying experience I've ever had, highly recommend going to see Mariah Lange. She helped me out with picking out the exact truck i wanted and also with financing. Couldn't ask for a better!

I’ve owned a few Mercedes vehicles, and this one is very fun and sporty and is a head turner. It’s very quick and responsive. Very pleased

This is a great family owned business with great employees! Their selection of cars is always the coolest around. They are always more than willing to help! Chip, Chuck, Tim, Jeff and all the technicians all a solid team!

Car handles superbly on corners at speed. Responsive powerful motor. All the luxuries along with a fantastic retractable hard top. Perfect for weekend getaway or car rally.

Great selection of high end vehicles! Friendly and fun staff! 5/5 recommend checking them out for your next car or service needs!

No better value for your money on the MB SLK Kompressor! Even with a lot of mileage, if you maintain the maintenance aspect of the vehicle you will not be disappointed in it's performance. I've loved this car from the moment I drove it. Parting will be sweet sorrow.

Unhappy my 2012 S60 is using oil and I have to bring to dealer for additional quart of oil every 1500 miles. I only have 92,000 miles on my car. This is not a reflection of the Service department but Volvo automaker. Likely will need to replace pistons and rings and anticipate a bill of several thousand dollars some day.

Thank you, Mike! I just purchased my second car from Palladium Autos, and once again, it was a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the office had a welcoming atmosphere. I appreciate the excellent service!
