E Class with THE highest spec(??) at £6K!

[After Shock]

I was fed up with mine as it came back from a service and decided "right what's on eBay"!

MERCEDES E320 CDI AVANTGARDE A Estate 7 seats full mercedes service history | eBay

Intriguing!

£6000 for a car with unknown SBC history, probably corrosion and a list of faults or known repairs needed but the owner is happy to spend £300 having it polished rather than address the problems?

Hmmmmmmmmm!!

Pre minor facelift at 2003. No kids seats in rear seats, but pretty damn good spec.

 

[Major774]

Missing the steering wheel upgrade

No parktronic and the front bumper is standard, not an AMG version as stated.

 

[DSM10000]

Plus it seems to have a recently renewed MOT despite having an illuminated SRS light and damaged rear seat belts, both of which would be an MOT failure, as would the faulty indicator.

At 11 years old the options, no matter how desirable, are not worth the premium they are asking with the faults that need addressing.

Optimistic. I've just bought an 08 plate with similar spec and miles for 7k

 

[Watchcame430]

Almost presidential spec
I think the spec is nice ... Too much at those miles though.

Did they really only make four obsidian ( osbian ) black estates in 2003 ?

If there's any truth in that, it'll be because the W210 estate overlapped into 2003 if I remember right, hence not many W211 estates.

I agree ... Obsidian has always been a pretty popular colour?
Being so early I wonder if it's a sensible buy? They take a while to iron out the production faults sometimes?

Too much for the age / miles and admitted faults.

A black estate E500 with 130k and high spec sold sub £3k a couple of weeks ago.
An 04 saloon made 3,200 recently. Both had the twin roof and massage etc

Serious question, were early 320CDi actually 3.2 litre? I always thought all 280/300/320/350 were 3.0 litre.

yes mate early ones the have a straight 6 and I believe after 2005 they became V6 !

I'm not sure you'd even get it through an mot with the faults listed ?

Repeater indicator not working is a fail

Seat belt damage ? Petty sure that's a fail too.

The IL6 CDI was 3222cc, the V6 CDI is 2987cc.

No good pixs of the rare interior :fail

Maybe only four funeral directors were upgrading that year?

Mines Obsidian. Nice colour. A green fleck in the sun which funeral directors might not really want!!??

Anyway ..... Will all those toys be working for a while? Or big expensive jobs to repair?

Are they now dated and or superseded?
