Need to make room so that I can get my own 6 spd SLK320 instead of borrowing from another driver in the family

I have personally seen and driven this car and it is exactly as described. It drives wonderfully and is very quick and comfortable. Whoever ends up buying this is getting a great deal.

Dang I need to find some coin, I love me a mercedes with a 5 speed

"change is good" . Car is no longer for sale. Family member will not be overseas this summer, so a car is needed. Also finances now say no replacement with an SLK or AMG on the trunk this summer. Thanks to all who were interested.

Glad it is working out. I did end up finding a new toy locally I need to show you sometime

I think your lucky to have kept it.

5 speed manual 300E's are rare; they only made them for '87 and I think '89.

I've been a passenger in one, and the 5 speed really takes advantage of the engine. It's much faster than a regular slush box 300E.

He converted it from an auto.

Even better. Another reason to keep it.

That one is EXTREMELY rare, since by all published accounts, US five speeds were only brought in for the '86 and '88 model years.
