In addition to the content of the eBay ad, I'll post here some things that might be mis-understood in the public world but should be of interest to genuine enthusiasts.
The car had had a partial respray (all except boot, rear bumper and roof) to combat a number of rust patches back in summer 2006. Many W210 E-class cars have a problem of rust around the lock on the bootlid and this was no exception - but it's been repaired under warranty by MB, which included re-painting the bootlid of course. The alloy wheels were also fully refurbished in February 2006 (tyres off, sand blasted and re-painted - not the "push the tyres back a bit and spray the front" half-cut effort many places do).
In addition to the partial respray, I have had the following parts replaced on the car:
Following the initial service when I got the car, I have had the car regularly serviced at Bursledon Motors (MB specialist and great guys) in Durley, Hampshire - no expense spared - if they say it needs doing, it needs doing - and on the same basis when I've suggested something may need doing they've more than once said it's not necessary - I trust these guys and will have them look after my next E-class too!
It's got four virtually new tyres, Goodyear Excellence, a few months old with hardly any mileage - the car has been sitting doing nothing for the last month since I got the new one
The fuel economy in this car has been a surprise - I have kept a spreadsheet of mpg over its life with me, averaged 31mpg. I'll send the spreadsheet if anyone's interested of course!
Anyway, please read the eBay classified ad for full details and give me a call/email/PM if you're interested.
Cheers,
Jeremy
