Hello All! New to SLK in Wa. state USA
Recently purchased my first MB at a auction. Its a 99 slk 230 kompressor. Black and in great shape,but alas high (153,000) miles.
Googling the web I have yet to find a repair manual. I'm a do it yourselfer of everything I own.
This car is no exception. I have a complete shop and have no problems with buying specialty tools. Just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Look forward to years of owning these dynamite little cars and sharing with members here.
Was a Corvette owner, went to fast bikes and now MB's!!
Welcome Skiffman from southern California. Please await instructions from Jbanks15 (Sgt-At-Arms).
Check out StarTek to see if you can purchase the Repair Manual in DVD for the R170. UK-C200 or IkChris may have more info on where to purchase the repair manual.

Hi Sherrie. I'm over in Kitsap county. I went to Meadowdale Jr. High way back when. Still have family in Edmonds.
Picked this car up at a local auction. Nice having a hardtop convertible in our recent weather !!
I see you ride too. A Kawasaki even better!!
I think I financed Jim Boltz's New Cycle Barn with all the bikes I bought from him in the 70's!!
Have a ZX14 now. Dont need a fast car with that monster. But these rigs have a little spirit.

Looking like I have a few "normal" fixes ahead.
