For sale my A200 Avantgarde Special Edition Sports Coupé - C169, 06-reg.

Other than a pre-sale service by a non-Merc dealer and my own oil and filter change couple of years ago, it's got full MB service history, with 8 Mercedes service stamps (10 service stamps in total).

52,650 miles, 955 miles since last service by MB Northampton in June 2020, with spark plugs and brake fluid change.

The car is currently on MB Service Care Plan, at £32 per month, and next year items include ATF, fuel filter and coolant, so I would definitely keep the care plan.

There's nothing wrong mechanically, all electrical systems and everything else is working perfectly.

Last MOT advisory was rusted rear discs - new TRW discs and OE pads will be fitted next week.
New front pads were fitted in January 2020.

There are a number of [in my opinion] nice mods and upgrades, and as tempted I am to list them all, no one is ever going to read a 116 bullet-point list ... from dimming RVM, to illuminated door sills, rear spoiler, ambient lights, reversing and left side parking cameras, adaptive brake lights, new type bonnet star, sports grille, rear power socket, etc, etc. Some are obvious from pictures, like hard-wired brand new dashcam, custom steering wheel, gearshift and armrest, head unit, etc ...while the others - like GPS tracking, Apple CarPlay and Head Up Display, TPMS are not (well HUD is, sort of). Happy to answer any questions :)

Major mechanical work done:

2015 - new a/c condenser (under dealer's warranty) by PCS
2017 - new OSF Wheel Bearing; Ball Joint; ESP Sensor by MB Northampton
2017 - new starter motor by Wayne Gates
2018 - new OSF Top Mount Bearing Assembly by Parkham Garage
2018 - new springs - front ones by Parkham Garage, rear - DIY
2020 - new parking brake rear cables and shoes by InTown Automotive
2020 - new fuel filler neck and guide funnel by Parkham Garage

All parts were OEM.

Brand new VARTA Silver Dynamic battery fitted Sep 2017.

New front Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 fitted in May 2020, done about 1000 miles.
Rear tyres are Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance and about 5 - 5.5 mm.

Pretty good factory spec - power sound option, with subwoofer and extra speakers; sports suspension and 18" AMG wheels; full leather.

Bad points / issues:

Bottom of the doors rust - a known issue with pre-facelift models, I was planning to replace the doors. It is treated for now, but would require attention in not too distant future.

Couple of dings on the driver's door - as I was planning to replace both, I left it as it is.

Paintwork is not in showroom condition - a few stone marks on the bonnet, a small area were rear bumper and quarter panel meet, already mentioned bottom sections of both doors.

Rectified known issues:

Rear air vents re-sealed, so spare wheel well is bone-dry.
Tailgate handle replaced with facelift model - different release button - no water ingress.
Rear wiper arm replaced (OE part, of course)

Comes with 3 keys - two original old style, and one brand new modern Mercedes chrome one.

Free Mercedes Roadside Assistance policy valid till June 2021 and Sytner Club membership - both fully transferable.
A substantial folder with invoices and receipts, etc. Service schedule pdf file.

The car is in Bozeat, near Wellingborough - NN29.

£3,500
