300ce-24 sportline
<div class="bbWrapper">I found this whilst surfing <a href="http://www.topidc.8m.com/Merc/mercedes.htm" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">300CE for Sale</a> <br /> <br /> and I contacted the owner to ask if it was a Sportline, as it looked as if it might be one. They have checked and MB confirm it is. They have emailed me asking what it might be worth for a private sale. I guess it is about £3500-4000? Do you think it will also be a 24v if it is a Sportline? It might have the 5speed auto too being a '92 car.<br /> <br /> The car had been on ebay with an ad that did not really help sell the car at £2500 and got no bids.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I'd be surprised if it was a sportsline with no air and no leather. Looks like it might be a sportsline steering wheel mind, so it may well be.<br /> <br /> The sportsline coupes are also a rather harsh, with a lot of the road surface felt in the cabin. I dont think it effects value either way as some people like the firmer ride, others like the comfort.<br /> <br /> As for the price, its very difficult to judge. Its a 12 year old car so price is very condition dependent - not appreciable by pictures. There's no mention of service history, theres no aircon and no leather - both an absolute must to get serious money so I think £3500 is about right, £4000 if the paintwork is immaculate.</div>

The other was interior, but you could order the Sportline upholstery on standard seats if you did not want the sports seats.<br /> <br /> There is a facelift E220 coupe with AMG kit/wheels, leather, air etc in this weeks Autotrader for £3,500<br /> <br /> <br /> Bazza</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Looks like a sportline to me.<br /> <br /> Seats and steering wheel are correct, it also looks slightly lower than a standard CE (may be my eyes though! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) Best way to check would be to take the VIN number to a dealership and get a print out of all options specified <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /><br /> <br /> As with any second hand car, value is dependant on what people are prepared to pay!<br /> <br /> It does look in good order, so if it has all the right credentials, eg a good service history etc, and is a straight car, it should sell without too much hassle.<br /> <br /> Have a search on ebay/autotrader etc for similar cars and see if they have actually sold.<br /> <br /> No leather or air con is a bit of a downer though IMHO.<br /> <br /> Good Luck,<br /> <br /> Cheers,<br /> <br /> Will</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">it's got the reg number in the ads - pop down to your friendly local MB parts department and ask them to pull up it's details - may well cost you a couple of pints but they should be able to shed some light on things for you.<br /> <br /> Andy</div>

Most 'sport' options on cars don't have leather or air, these are saved for the luxury models. If you want to be sporty why waste power and weight on air con whilst sliding about on leather seats. Nothing to with being the best nation of people at all <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> <br /> <br /> The Sportline option was available on W201' and all W124's except the 4-Matic. The <i>full</i> sportline interior pack was not available for the coupes<br /> <br /> <br /> Bazza</div>

(think the advert says 4 speed box)<br /> <br /> I would be wary of a car description that includes <br /> &quot;<i>Enhanced Offroad Package</i>&quot; usually means a sump guard and heavy duty (possibly slightly raised) suspension which is a contradiction in terms with Sportline model which has a lowered suspension. strange one that .<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused :confused:" data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></div>
