Time to sell the wifes car, need a 4x4 as we keep getting stuck in snow in the Alps, where we spending more and more time.
Its just passed its MOT with NO advisories (failed on brake pads which have been changed). 11 months remaining.
192000 miles, runs really very well. Has taken us to the Alps in France 3 times already this year, at 44 mpg.
Really a great car for ages and miles-of course it is not perfect, it not new and has done a reasonable amount of miles!
It has:
Electric memory cloth seats (grey) and the car is dark blue.
Bluetooth stereo fitted (original available)
Elect mirrors, elec windows, elec folding wing mirrors, elec steering column, soft close tailgate, built in dog net, rear pull out parcel shelf etc. ALL these work exactly as they should.
Comprehensive service history, part Mercedes then independent, please see pics of service book.
Currently fitted with winter snow tyres on alloys, 4 other alloys with legal tyres included if required.
Starts first time, everytime, even after being under 1 meter of snow for a week (that was last week).
Bad points: It has the common injector leak, I am not DIY capable of changing myself and after taking some advice, I decided to carry on driving it as is. Economy has not been impacted and I cant hear a chuffing noise. Is a reasonably easy fix for anyone who has the tools to fix.
The car runs great, no missing, is fast and as powerful as it should be, gear changes are silky smooth right from cold (better than my 7G car).
As usual there is a some rust, but much MUCH better than most. When it was MOTd last month I asked the tester about corrosion underneath and he said it was good, nothing that he could see. I will be posting photos up soon with detail on the rust, but basically some small surface rust in places and a spot on the tailgate. Believe you me, compared to some this is a beauty!
I dont know what its worth, but lets say £995.
As soon as the wife manages to get back from work in the day light, photos will be taken and posted.
