That's what I'm thinking. The 6-speed swap is a straight swap once acquired from an SLK parts car. I wouldn't be surprised if this car has a fully rebuilt suspension all around on it by now, so it probably rides very nice. Mileage doesn't scare me away, if it is properly maintained with service history.
