He certainly gets really high EPS* from that!

*Exclamations per Sentence!!

....but at 165k miles is it really good value?

 

[bolidemichael]

I'm in the 'looks good' camp.

 

[phobos]

I am on the "genuine Avantgarde grill looks timeless and elegant for me " camp

 

[AMGeed]

It's a no from me on that particular car.

 

[davymead]

I’m in the it would better suit a coupe or convertible camp.

Would be if it was a ‘ No Reserve ‘ listing, looking at the price with 12+ hours to go.

 

[Mactech]

I'm in the 'Oh! suits you sir' camp...as a row of pink tents.

 

[Jukie]

That's hideous!

It rather suits that car, I think. The traditional multi-slatted Mercedes grille would look better, but anything after that rather worse. I'm quite warming to the Panamerica grille in general; certainly far superior to the things with all the little lozenges in a swirly pattern.

The car I probably wouldn't touch with a bargepole, though, and not just because it's a poxy four-pot diesel, and black. 165K isn't all that much for an E-class, but only 'some' service history and (if I understand the ad wording correctly - English isn't the vendor's first language, I suspect) a new interior? Why would it need a new interior?

 

[Wolfie1]

Nothing wrong with that grille

 

[Jukie]

I'll give you this as an alternative:

E63

Now I'm happy with the de-chromed look including the black, traditional grille. But as for the wheels........and the trousers the FSP is wearing!

Ex-taxi perhaps? I'm not a fan of those grilles either. But each to their own

Like that.

Haven't we been here before?

[Spider10]

That is hideous

 

[Jukie]

Like that.

The grille, the wheels or both?
