RARE Designo SLK 230k whats it worth???

[Designo-Slk]

Hi ill be selling this in the near future but not sure what its worth as i havent seen another to compare it to. It does have a couple of bad points to it,
only 1 key, no service history (im looking into it), 173,000 miles and a patch of rust on front edge of bonnet.
Good bits the paintwork looks stunning in the sun great tyres it has over £4000 worth of extras including full AMG pack designo paint and interior, heated leather side airbags.......
any guide prices or potential buyers would be great thanks.

Would probably be helpful to know what year/plate it is ?!

Car looks nice but 173k miles is high for a small 2-seater and would probably put a lot of buyers off IMHO.

Ooops.... Its a 98 R

I would say around £1500 or so. The mileage, lack of history, rust and only 1 key will hurt it's value.

Unusual colour but it won't really affect it's value a great deal IMHO.

Reminds me of the 2tone TVR paint jobs from early 2000's.

Does a Designo painted car with say a Designo interior command any kind of premuim over a similar car in a regular colour with similar miles, condition etc etc?

Lets just say for reference, its a nice colour and not one of the lurid Designo jobbies....

Not at that age.

Tis just another expensive to maintain 'banger' as far as the trade goes!

I would suggest that unless you need to sell it then you should keep it... it is worth 1000 - 1500 pounds.. but is probably worth more than that to you if it is a good un....
