It has a rain sensor wiper too. I only bought a car last year that has managed to match the electric seats and auto wiper of this C-Class!

Got me digging out pics now. This is how you must retun it if it has not been kept so!

Thanks Graham for such an informative post! I'm sure I'll be as happy as possible without Vtec ;)

I'll get some pics of how rusty she is for you :)
 
Tomorrows the day I make a 4hr train journey to pick the car up... Fingers crossed its not a nail :)
 
10 Years ago when I got my W202, that was the 1st car I saw with an Avantgarde grill :D
 
Was it what you had hoped for? I assume yes seeing as you bought it :)

We need pics to compare to the above!

J.

Pretty much what I expected for the money tbf.. In all honesty I would have paid more, I did mention this to the seller :)

Bodywork is pretty tatty in places, nothing that can't be sorted easily.
Wheels need refurb and tyres haven't got much life left.
A knock from the diff when changing gear in anger, again not a big worry.
N/S headlamp wiper needs fixing.
Interior is like new!! Everything works too!!
Engine pulls really well. Nice to have torque back after driving a Honda.
Got a wad of receipts to read through later, last owner since 2006 and seems to have not spared any money which is nice..

No pics atm as its peeing down :)
 
Nice :). I had a 230k for a few years and it was a very understated car, really lively engine and all round fun to drive.

I went through 2 differentials while having it, the differentials are just crap on these cars unfortunately since its an open diff.

I think mine was a bad example but it got to the stage where alot needed fixing on it and I couldn't be bothered to fork out so I sold it for scrap money, but it gave me a good ~70k miles before I got rid of it and I enjoyed most of them :p.
 
The diff is a Mechanical Locking Differential code 471 according to the mb spec sheet.. Dunno quite what that is lol
 
Nice car keep us posted with Piccies and updates on the condition / issues
