Even though the milliage is high and it has had 5 previous owners, it no way looks to have done that sort of milliage based on the wear to the leather, steering wheel and exterior body condition which look almost new. The engine bay frankly looks as if it is new !

A credit to the owner me thinks.

Very clean indeed!

That's a well looked after car alright.

Wheels have obviously been refurbed - there's no machined lip anymore (not a problem, just an observation)

I reckon he's spent a good few hours prepping that engine bay, possibly refinished cam cover and new HT warning sticker etc - attention to detail!

A nice car for someone who's not so fussed about miles.

Doesn't accept cash though? Imagine paying by PayPal, the commision on that amount and how much he'd lose!

 

[Will]

In fact, looking at the wheels again it's hard to tell if they've got the polished/machined lip!?

Super clean car, an interesting colour too.

Nice to see it devoid of badges, it looks very subtle.

That's a keeper for some ones collection.

PAYMENT - Will only accept PAYPAL or CHEQUE - must be cleared in account before the vehicle is released

That statement worries me....ie, got your money and once its cleared, off we go, and you get no car......why would he not accept cash or bank transfer????

 

[Will]

I'm sure it's just a cautious, fairly new to selling cars eBayer. If that was of real concern to me as a buyer I'm sure there would be a solution

Nice...

Not mentioning cash is probably just an oversight.

Gotta say.. after looking at Ginas Ce in her Sig.. It looks bloody awesome... Been looking around on Autotrader since seeing yours... would be a weekend mota.. Very very nice car Gina... Love the wheels, I had those on my C240 Sport a few years back..

Too clean for 171,000 miles and 5 owners...

Too clean for 171,000 miles and 5 owners...

I agree, thats freakishly clean for that sort of mileage and number of owners even on the inside!

 

[Alps]

maybe its just well looked after, your right it does look too clean, but so can yours if its looked after from new like that!

Thanks! It is a nice car....looks good from a distance I had the same wheels on my previous MB, c230k which looked rather nice too. They don't have to cost a fortune, my brothers (white e220 coupe) was a steal (well not literally!)

I suspect it's had a bit of work recently. Something like this.

 

[smillion]

I enjoyed reading about that Stats thanks.

I wonder how much it would cost to have someone do that to my 5 years old W211 - ?

C43 Steering wheel by the looks of it aswell + facelift rear clusters.

Well that could be true but if you think about it with 5 different owners i find it quite hard to believe that every owner equally took a very high level of care when it came to keeping the car in the condition it is in now! If it had two owners or maybe a one owner car i could comepletely agree with you.

But then again they might all have looked after it very well and this might a one of those one off type cars.....

C43 Steering wheel by the looks of it aswell.

The very late production C36 AMG's had this type of steering wheel just like the C43 AMG's except with the coloured inserts.

 

[gina2201]

But not every owner had to look after it so immaculately, surely just the last person could get it looking like that....

Looks nice, not my ideal colour but then, who cares?!
