2000 Mercedes C240 Elegance (W202) with Multipoint Romano LPG Injection System
I love this car but I hardly use it since I work mainly from home and lucky if I do 40 miles a week.
I have done just over 12,600 miles in just over 2 years which is very low and spends more time standing outside my house looking like a ornament than I do using it. So I have bought a small car ( Smart Car) which is easier to park in the mayhem of Cardiff.

Once a month I do travel exactly 250 miles to the Midlands and back and it costs me exactly £22.50 every time and costs me between £20 & £25 every 2-3 months in petrol.


Car will still be in use until sold so mileage will creep up a little but not much. I will only be using it this weekend and then it will be taken off insurance on Sunday.

This car is very very reliable and will take you around the UK or to Europe and back with no hassle. Would benefit from a valet.

It is MoT'ed until March 2014 and has 1 advisory which was anti roll bar bushes.....they cost £4.95 each and are easy to fit but the garage said that there is hardly any play in them so I didn't replace them at that time.

Please keep in mind that it is not a new car and has a few age related things like material on 2 arm rests on the front door cards is a little worn and the corner of the upright part of the drivers seat is wearing through getting in and out but that cover will peel off to be replaced with another, either a new one or one from a breakers yard. There are a few marks on the paintwork, mainly where a little bubble rust was repaired but the spraying could have been better. See pix below.Front off side wheel needs balancing and the rubber oil breather pipe could do with a clean.


It has full Mercedes service history stamped in the book up until 2010. It was then given to a old gentleman in Barry by his Son who is a Chief Superintendent with Avon & Somerset Police and I bought it from him.

I have had 2 full services done by a mobile mechanic who I use and trust emphatically and I also changed a few parts like coil packs, leads, plugs, injectors and mass airflow meter for peace of mind. I also did a engine de-coke (something most people never think to do but should)
It needed none of these and so there is a good MAF meter and coils to keep as spares.
I have the previous MoT certificates etc'
All oils/fluids have been replace, (engine, brake & clutch, transmission) and are checked weekly.

I had a new Kenwood Radio/CD player put in that I bought from Uplands on North Road inn Cardiff and cost me £135.00 and also a Bass Box in the boot which at the time I paid £150.00 for (No, I am not a boy racer...I am 60 but just like a decent sound.)

I also bought and fitted brand new wind deflectors on all doors and also bought and fitted brand new stainless steel chrome wheel arch covers to set it off (not to cover anything up)

I paid £2000 for the car and another £1355 to have the LPG gas conversion fitted (Certificate provided).
It is a top of the range Romano Multi-Point system with a 90ltr tank
so I need to get near to my asking price and I will not entertain silly offers.


Around Cardiff in its stop start traffic it costs me roughly £14.50 to cover 100 miles in the City. I top the LPG tank up as soon as the indicator drops from 4 green lights to 3.
It was coverted by Mint LPG of Newport (formerly known as Autogas Worldwide) and they are probably the best in the UK for their quality systems. They also run training courses to garage mechanics who want to learn how to convert a car properly.......they are the LPG industry tutors.

You are welcome to come and view the car but from Sunday there will not be any insurance on the car so if you buy it you will need to get cover to drive it away.

Not sure what else I can tell you without rambling any further but I have been very honest in my description.


It has half a tank of petrol and I will make sure that it also has a full tank of LPG.

Forgot to say ...price is £1850 or offers.
 
I'm losing the plot.

That should have read £1350 ono which is a good price when you think that the LPG system cost me that.
 
Bottom line....£1000 as I cannot run 3 cars and this one will not be used as from 6:00pm today.
 
£850 without the radio, base box and tax.....Last offer.
 
No interest at all so taking it off the sale list.

Mods, can you please close this thread.
 
Now Sold at full asking price so can admin please close this now?
