This car has been owned by 2 previous forum members and I bought it from the mbclub forum.
I've had this car for two and a half years and have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Retro black metallic 1997 c230 kompressor sport auto with full black leather interior that is in excellent condition for age.
Genuine 18" staggered AMG monoblocks from an E55 AMG, rears are excellent, fronts have a couple of rim curb marks. (£600 worth of alloys)
2014 Pioneer headunit with upgraded front speakers. 12" Alpine sub boxed in boot with hidden JBL AMP (Still lots of available boot space).
Aircon recharged and tranny fluid replaced in 2013 by PCS Olly prior to my purchase (No receipt for this though).
Starter motor replaced in 2013.
Runs and drives great, engine is excellent.
- black leather interior
- heated front seats
- original carbon look sport trim
- chrome gear surround and pedals
- cup holder pack
- leather steering wheel
- uprated Lorinser/Bilstein shocks
- body modified from factory with AMG arch spats
- relocated MAF conversion
- usual electric mirrors / windows
- electric sunroof
- cruise control
- locking wheel nuts
- folder full of invoices/receipts
MOT due 9th June 2016.
Replaced/Fitted in last 2 and a half years under my ownership:
New brake pads all round
New crank position sensor
New heater blower fan resistor
New interior blower motor
New water pump
New fuel tank breather hose line
New fuel cap
Replacement bonnet star
Replacement interior temperature sensor fan
Drivers door holder mechanism replaced
Parking (foot) brake mechanism stripped and adjusted.
Window wiper mechanism greased
12" Alpine Boxed Sub
700w JBL amp
2015 Pioneer Headunit
Bad Bits
Drivers heated seat base not heating, back part works. (Not bothered me enough to fix)
Fuel leak when filling car coming from the filler neck. I had this investigated at the same time as an oil service last week but they could not find the problem.
Planning to take it back to the garage, this time after filling the tank, so they can find and sort. Not got round to this yet.
Usual W202 small amount of rust to wheel arches, a bubble on bonnet, a paint crazing patch on boot lid, a flake of paint missing from rear bumper, some door dinks on passenger door, light keying to drivers wing. 3 inch or so thin paint scrape on drivers side front bumper.
(See photos - It's really in very good shape for a 19yr old car).
Interior fan blower speed dial a bit touchy (Only part of the blower system I have not replaced with a new item).
Factory Alarm lost it's siren.
Only 1 Keyfob
Overall it's in great condition for age. Used as my daily evening cruiser to the supermarket until very recently.
As you can see I have kept up with replacing the bits that needed doing. It's time for someone else to enjoy a retro, metallic black, supercharged Merc on big AMG wheels.
The two previous forum owners prior to me did their own servicing - but I have some receipts for the mobile 1 they used. I have just had an oil service done using mobile 1 ready for the new owner.
I am selling to fund the respray of my 1969 VW Camper.
