13000 mile?230e w124

[newbitz1957]

looks nice and original, seems a bargain;

1987 MERCEDES 230 E AUTO GREEN on eBay (end time 28-Jul-10 19:30:43 BST)

 

[d w124]

Even with that mileage,there`s is rust on the wing

That engine bay looks like it's done more than 13k, plus the history is a bit vague to say the least, buyer beware and all that....

Lol at this bit!

"This car was purchased because he did not want the children in the 560sec from his broken marriage to mess it up..."

Woolly history, timing chain rattle and rust coming through.

Not a 13000 mile car.

 

[harry_dhuga]

More like 113,000 miles.

For someone with the right initials it may be worth buying just for the number plate and selling on...

I cant see where the seller keeps fumbling on about tenth of miles on the Odo , because there doesnt appear to be any? This looks a potentially nice car with a bit of TLC , all thats missing to be a classic cheapie Merc ad is "the unused first aid kit" and once owned by "an embassy" . Hope it finds a good home

Plenty of rust and has got the wrong exhaust pipe on, looks like the camera does lie when it comes to int shots! Not 13000 miles imo. But do love the colour combo

If you read the Q&A its obvious that the car simply had a new speedo and the real mileage is more like 140K.

Any coolant in that expansion tank?....normally you can see some colour coming through the side of the tank, but not in this case.

It is now, that question hadn't been posted when the car was spotted originally..

 

[newbitz1957]

Have to agree with all the above, now we know the full story, but, still looks to be a bit of a bargain if you factor in the number plate, if its worth what is suggested then it is basicly a free tidy W124, dont think I`ve ever seen one with that colour combination though, its very green!!, think they may be descendants of Lord Percy from blackadder!!!

i put in a bid on it i sel the plate n the car is free!! not bad for a run around!!
