Been on sale before too, although as you say it dont have leather it aint the standard cloth either looks velour to me. Needs some period AMG wheels to finish it off along with a bit of lowering as it seems to be riding a tad high.
Yeah I was interested in this last year, I think it looks fantastic! But the old 300 engine put me off (as im doing 20k miles a year) so I got the 220E, im having second thoughts though now, it looks fantastic!
I think I posted about this car last year. IIRC, I'd called the dealer and he wasn't interested in answering Qs about typical W124 problems. Everything was "great" or something similar. And at the time, another forumite said he'd had a (long) wasted journey to that dealer to see another car that was poorly described. So I didn't bother.
