E240 avantgarde AMG

[slacky]

Hello people pretty new on here , my Dad has a 1998 E240 avantgarde with AMG wheels & front bumper,around 155k, he's had it around 8 years,fully serviced by his local garage, recently it has decided to blow alot of smoke out, more on start up really, we fear it is the valve stem seals or piston rings ???
anyway would this be worth selling on here as a spares or repair car , knowing that perhaps somone far more knowledgeable than us could repair it themselves etc, it has the 18" AMG wheels on , which i was tempted to put on my A6q, but i think it would be too much hassle to be honest.

He has also seen a nice E220 cdi 2002 avantgarde with 64k on ,going for
£6995, is this a fair price ,if it is what it says on the tin
So your thoughts would be very much appreciated ,
many thanks in advance
chris

For £6995 I`d try to avoid a very early 211,considering is a 211 as it`s to much for a 210
Can`t help much about your dads car though

The 240's scrap, and the 220's double money.

HTH.

You could sell the 240 in parts, if you have the time and space...

Thanks for replies fella's
Thought as much re the 240, possibly the
amg wheels are worth a bit??
When you say double money?
Do you Mean way overpriced ??
Sorry I'm not really up on the
W configurations , I only know me audi's
Though LOL

Right:What alloys are they?
Yes he means overpriced

As for the W thing,does the 220cdi look the same looks similar to the 240?

Its the updated model(not the same as the e240)
Why would you avoid the early ones in that case?
Cheers

They are the 18" monoblock AMG 's
In need of a refurb
The 220cdi is fsh with parking sensors, "command",which I believe was retro
Fitted,& is very clean with brand new 6 spoke 18" amg alloys.

As for the W thing,does the 220cdi look the same looks similar to the 240?

Yes it's similar but the newer version I believe

Used AMG alloys aren't worth as much as you'd like.

I've got three sat in the garden...

Just so you know the E240 is similar to this beauty -

and the E220CDI is similar to this

Without the front spoiler & panoramic roof ,same wheels
But they are silver instead of grey, so I presume
They are Brabus alloys then
