I'm looking for a 300TE myself at the moment, thought this one looked OK, apart from the lack of air-conditioning, steel-wheels and extensive rust

Well , the VIN seems to indicate that it left the factory with air conditioning ...

Alloy wheels are cheap ....

Be aware that MB Tex is not leather ...

Doesn't look like 'extensive rust' to me , there is a bit on the rear wing as the chap says , but this can be sprayed cheaply , and is a good bargaining point ...

If it's cheap enough , have a punt ... Big miles though ... but they go on for ever

Alloy wheels are cheap ....

Even the genuine, original Mercedes ones? I don't want Barry-Boy ones.

Be aware that MB Tex is not leather ...

Yeah, the seller seems to think it is though.

Doesn't look like 'extensive rust' to me , there is a bit on the rear wing as the chap says , but this can be sprayed cheaply , and is a good bargaining point ...

Yeah, but doesn't that just cover it up without stopping it?

If it's cheap enough , have a punt ... Big miles though ... but they go on for ever

I've seen ones with over 250k before, as you say it should last a long time. I'll see how the bidding goes.

"THIS IS THE TE MODEL SO IT HAS A TURBO FOR EXTRA GRUNT"

Still not a bad old car though.

Ha ha, I noticed that, he seems to have corrected himself towards the end.

That bloke is pretty ignorant about his car, thinking it's a turbo, thinking he has leather & thinking the S slide by the gearstick stands for Sport.
