51 Plate C220cdi Estate - 126k miles - £2450

[gIzzE]

Bought the car in Sept last year and paid £2600 for it, well £2450 plus tax to be fair, I have done the 'new car' thing of sorting all the niggles out, as you do.

126k miles
Full service History.
Next service due in 7000 miles.

Since I have had it it has had brake fluid change, coolant change, filter change, pollen filter change, and oil service.

It has also had new anti roll bar bushes, drop links, front upper and lower control arms fitted, at a total cost of nearly £700.

Thermostat was also fitted when the coolant change was done, which was back in October I think.

I have receipts for all work done.

The car is fitted with Dunlop Winter Sport 4D tyres all round, 7mm all round.
These are superb tyres and work well in summer too.
(I do have a pair of summer tyres I can include too, these could go on the front and a new pair fitted to the rear, camskill have them listed at £62 each.)

Just had new discs and pads fitted to both front and rear.

Was taxed for 6 months last month I think, anyway, ready to drive away.

I have spent £1700 on this car since getting it in September.

These are the pics I took when I was going to buy an E Estate a couple of months back, but that fell through.

Since then I have put the aluminium carbon cube type trim in, I still have the wood trim as well if wanted.

I will be putting the standard Audio 10 Mercedes CD Player back in the car.

I have just spent £400 putting the Pioneer X3500 Dab double din unit in the car, it gives full ipod control (including app mode for nav) Parrot bluetooth and a DAB+ radio.
If anyone wants me to leave it in then I am sure we can come to some arrangement. But I don't want to give it away, as I am looking at an ML and will buy the same unit again for that.



So pretty much perfect then??
Well, no.

The arches have had rust bubbles on them, and it was treated and then rather crudely painted with Hammerite.
That was the first thing I was going to get done, however, on getting the car I decided you never really noticed till looking, so haven't bothered. You can tell from the pics that it really isn't an issue.
if I were to do it I would buy two new wings from ebay, £38 each, and get them sprayed.

There is also a scuff on the front bumper...

The drivers side bolster has slightly worn as well, I didn't even notice this this till the other day, I will get a pic.

There is also some light swirl marks on the bonnet and roof, but sure these would polish out.

Overall the car is great though, mechanically spot on, does 46mpg with lots of shorter runs and will do 50+ on a motorway run at 85mph and over 60mpg on a steady 60mph run.

It really is extremely solid with all the work that has been done.


£2450 ovno.

Oh, and the auto transmission fluid was also done a couple of months back, including the torque convertor.

Here is the bolster....

This is the cube interior....

Having a think about this, I will do the car (with the standard Audio 10) at £2200, that will give someone £300 to put a leather interior in off ebay if they feel the need. It is where the seatbelt sits when you get out, so you never see it.

£2500 with the Pioneer DAB+ radio left in there.


No offers on that though.

Car now sold - to a forum member.

Thanks all that enquired and sorry to the others that wanted to view, but this guy had originally asked to buy it when I had it advertised back in January, so had to give him first refusal.
