Gotta love the parked outside a mansion bit !
Got a couple of Pagodas so you never know
Although I did buy a battered old van once, pulled up at the blokes house and it was a 10 million pound mansion with a Ferrari, Aston and Sl55 on the drive. I bought the van and he paid off the outstanding finance of 50 grand (apparently he bought 15 of them in one go!) whilst i was there with his debit card ! (thats going some !)
Yes, John,
I noticed that and challenged the owner, who despite having 4 Mercedes for sale says he is not a dealer and that he took it off someone as part payment for his business which is Koi carp (See his ebay feedback). In fact the car has done almost as many miles in the last twelve months as the first seven years but the HPI information shows that the 2005 date corresponds with a plate (And therefore ownership) change so maybe the first owner did very little mileage - the service book should confirm something about that. Not too worried about corroded brakes pipes. The car is almost 19 years old and it seems that MOT testers vary greatly on their awareness of it. Waxoil or underseal seems to fool most!
Looks really nice that one.
I love mine but wouldn't go out looking for the 230k in particular again. It performs well enough but isn't exciting in any sense of the word.
They're tricky to price and can't help think that's a bit strong on the money but then again, the kit, wheels and interior have a value on their own.
Before I sell, I'm gonna take the wheels off mine and put originals back on but I'm saddened by the fact it's probably worth the square root of FA.
I had my C230K for 9 years and are great fun to drive....Based on W202 prices, the price is high, however saying that I sold mine last year for about the same price and mine was truly immaculate, same mileage and with a full MB history.
Very good C230Ks are getting rare to find.
The sunroof and the heated seats certainly give this a good spec.
To add to John....
Have a quick look at the diff case from behind and see if it is wet. These generally tend to leak from the seals....Its not a serious issue but good bargaining point as the diff needs to be dropped to repair it.
Check the gearbox inc kickdown and inquire if there is any evidence of a fluid change. If not, that will be the first thing on the "to do" list.
The engines as long as they have been regularly serviced are bulletproof as they were over engineered to handle the supercharger.
Check for any oil leaks around the camshaft sensor though.
If you get the "aircon has stopped working...probably needs regassing", usually means that the condenser is leaking and needs replacement...common issue on W202s.
Also two keys.....the keys are getting seriously expensive.
