Rare Manual R170: 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230
The first-generation R170 Mercedes-Benz SLK was Stuttgart’s late-1990s answer to the compact roadster question, pairing tidy proportions with a folding hardtop and an available supercharged inline-four that gave it real personality. Finding one with a manual transmission is rare enough, but seeing one with a little over 40K miles puts this squarely in unicorn territory, even if the interior (and exterior) shows the usual signs of age and enthusiasm. With rear-wheel drive, forced induction, and a curb weight that keeps things lively, this is the kind of SLK that reminds you these were meant to be driven, not just parked with the top down. Find this 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 offered for $6790 in Laguna Niguel, CA via facesmug marketbrook.
