1996 N reg Blue/black S320 Petrol 5-speed Auto
Superb, enthusiast-owned car in fantastic condition inside and out.
The blue/black paintwork is 99% blemish-free with one very small key dent below the petrol filler cap. Otherwise the paint is in fantastic condition and the dark colour really sets off the Zymol treated cream leather interior.
Alarm and imobiliser with two key fobs.
Inside the list is endless: Cruise control, climate (re-gassed) control, electrically adjustable steering column, original Blaupunct radio cassette, electrically heated and adjustable seats (inc. headrests) with pneumatic orthopaedic lumbar and base. There's illuminated vanity mirrors front and back and rear passenger climate controls. A large sunshine roof with wind deflector. Rear seats have an optional central armrest. Removable carpets throughout have kept the original carpets in very good condition. Rear headrests park in parcel shelf for uninterupted rear view when parking. First Aid kit (untouched) on rear parcel shelf. Warning lights on doors and easy-view lights inside boot.
The boot is massive with most of the original tool kit and a spare wheel. The boot has a handle which appears once it's opened and disappears once it's shut - very cool!
The wheels are Conroy alloys in AMG style. There is a slight amount of oxidisation on the perimeter section of these wheels - not the main centre section. This could be polished out with time and plenty of elbow grease! Apart from this, all the wheels are in very good conditon - almost as new.
The car is rattle-free and handles well for it's not inconsiderable size. It is a superb cruiser and retains good economy from the smaller 3.2 litre engine. The fifth gear is really an over-drive which helps considerably on the motorway. Fourth is selected by flicking the gear lever across the gate for extra engine braking or more immediate overtaking power. Having owned two E-classes, the extra comfort from the fully adjustable seats is what really sets this car apart for me. The road presence and exclusivity is something that you don't get with any E-Class...
Servicing is also a fraction of the V8 costs making this car/engine combination very sought after. It's done 134,000 miles with good detailing of history all carried out in Merc or Merc-approved garages.

In summary, an awesome car for the money!

New lower price of £6995 for quick sale.
