Just bought this 1999 W202 2.4 Elegance Auto for £675 F.S.H Full Mot, spent £110 for new wiper motor, brake switch for BAS light, carb cleaner for the MAF. Didn't know that the small V6 can be so smooth

A couple more, just found out you can have the speed limiter on permanently, even if you switch off the engine, handy if an inexperienced driver is using it. The car drives a dream, very happy with it as a second car.

You was robbed.

:bannana:

Cheap as chips - Great little find :O)
 
Some people pay more than that monthly for cars they don't even own .
 
Proper car for proper money - well done!

Bangernomics just makes great sense to me.
 
That is some bargain. The other half can now travel every where in complete comfort.

Well Done.
 
I'm pretty sure the w202 C240 came with a 2.6 V6 engine and not a 2.4. :)
 
Very nice motor for very nice money!:D
Multi cyl. petrol engines can make very good sense if they can be bought at the right price. You will be able to afford quite a few trips to the fuel station with the money you saved on that. I bought a V6 petrol Audi A8 some while back, cost next to nothing, I ran it for intergalatic miles and it was fine.
I'm sure your new Mercedes will do the same.;)
 
that is a very good buy. im looking to buy the same sort of thing as my daily driver to free up some cash for my next project :D
 
Amazing car for the money ..well done.:thumb:
