There was one offered a few weeks back on the retro rides forum, i think it was petrol, sold for £400. Had all the usual rot and an oil leak.

TBH, my Dads W210 isnt that far behind this in the rust stakes

just looking at what other w210 are going for, it isnt that cheap realy, this looks alot more car for the money http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1999-MERCEDES-BENZ-E-CLASS-E320-V6-Avantgarde-Auto-5_W0QQitemZ370041091546QQihZ024QQcategoryZ9855QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Do you think that this one might have been clocked?

I know - I thought the seat looked worn. Nearly fell of my seat when I looked at the mileage. Looks good for it though.

David

you mean clocked forward so the seller can get less for it

The engine bay looks honest though, no obvious oil leaks and not been steamed cleaned up for sale. What sort of mileages will those deisels do?

depends on how theyve been serviced, at that sort of money if you got a couple of years out of it, its cheap motoring

One of those was always going to be the replacement for my W124 E250. The only rust on mine is due to stonechips, those just seem to rot for any reason. Shame really, as they drive nicely.

And to think that mine after 6 years is just on 26k miles, I must be doing something wrong

 

[A210AMG]

To Be fair having covered 320K miles and given it hasn't even be cleaned or hovered for the pics its doesn't look 'too' bad.

Obviously served someone well, are there two liitle hole in the back bumper for the taxi plate?

With that amount of surface rust it will look like Janner's underneath.

I've seen a totally original 1949 Citroen Traction Avant with less rust.

That's virtually rust free compared with some....
