OK - Autotrader not Ebay, but...

Idly glancing through the E320CDI estates, and up came this beauty.

Here

See anything wrong?

 

[Howard]

It's on stilts ?

 

[Mudster]

Someone ordered the seats in Austin Allegro Brown.

 

[LTD]

I'm with Howard - it's sitting a wee bit high.

God awful colour of leather(ette)

Yeah - I wondered about that - until I saw the airmatic controls on the centre console.

Yes - it's that bloody awful interior. Came as quite a shock when I was flicking through the piccies! (Although I bet you like it Howard!)

 

[HowardD]

No boot badges.

I didnt know a 320 would have invisible exhausts tips.

 

[Honey Bear]

I think that colour interior works, but only if it had been matched to the rest of the interior.

 

[rpe2]

Black Carpets, brown seats, wrong springs.

Nice

Good spot with the rear bumper, HowardD! It should have cut-outs filled with tail pipes. What an odd modification.

Not wrong springs rpe2 - airmatic - see post #5!

Only 5 seats and no parking sensors too, if you are bothered by it.....

I think the bumper is fine, only sport models have the twin tailpipes I think......

 

[SL300-24]

If the bumper and tailpipes have been changed, with that interior, it could be a bitsa!

 

[EDZ649]

I don't think the interior is any worse than some of those awful Designo ones knocking around....

That's always been my bug with Mercedes interiors though, they offer you a selection of seat colours just plonked in the Black interior. BMW & Audi do the same.

Then look at a Jag or a Range Rover and you get a colour coded interior....

It continually lets down what is a great range of vehicles.

I prefer a coloured seat (beige etc) with black carpets etc......but it would be nice to have the choice..

Agreed!

But to prove that there is an exception to the rule, look at most Alfas in recent times. They have various coloured seating in black interiors, and they look stunning! My wife's 147 is black inside, except for the red leather seats, and it looks gorgeous. Tan/black is another one which works very well for them (reference Crockers' comment above).

 

[Sp!ke]

The rear doorcards dont match the seats or the front door cards.

 

[corned]

Actually they do! (Photo 8, bottom right-hand corner).

It is a 7-seater (from the description) so I wonder if the boot seats are in the same colour?

 

[Londonscottish]

....so the odd ride height is probably the airmatic doing it's self levelling thing - it does it side to side as well as front to rear.

Sometime mine looks hunkered down on one side an on stilts on the other - because of the camber. Plus the driver might also have accidentally hit the "raise" button which looks even odder.

Can't see the mention of seven seats - otherwise a pretty good spec. Not a bad price - although you could probably get the same spec plus extra seats for the same money.

I can't make my mind up about the seats.

Safe option (for resale) is always black/black or solver/black of course

Doh! I need to learn how to read. 7-SPEED, not 7-seats.
