Wanted: Low/avg mileage E Class (W210) facelift (Petrol)

[crammy69]

Ive been looking on and off for a good while now for an decent W210. I narrowly missed one earlier this year and am kicking myself. Anyhow, my wish list is:

1. Facelift model (2000 - 2002?)
2. Silver or Black or Violente (?)
3. Black or Cream Leather interior (definately not Grey or cloth)
4. Low to average Mileage. Idealy Less than 85,000
5. Full Serice History (Mb / Independant)
6. Sunroof
7. A/C
9. Alloy Wheels.

As regards engine I would like a petrol. Rather not get the 1.8/2.0 unless the car has everything else (unlikely), happy for 240,280,320 and possibly 430 .

The condition must be very good, I dont mind attending to the odd stone chip and scratch, but I dont want a restoration project .

I'm aware of the W210 rust issues so ideally looking for one that has had them done, but if it needs doing and is reflecetd in the price, then fair enough.

Many thanks.
Simon

Have you seen my post in the classifieds?

I've got a facelift 2000 E320 Avantgarde in Violaine Metallic done almost 70k with history. Has got the dark grey leather though and no sunroof but other than that is alsmot fits the bill and it isn't rusty.

It's on ebay at the moment.

Thanks for letting me see your car James, it has confirmed to me that I want a W210, but also that I much prefer the black or cream interior.

So if anyone has or knows of a good condition W210 with Black or cream leather interior, Im still looking.

Cheers1

I have a smoke silver E240 auto elegance on s plate 1998 with 34000 miles and has a full MBSH. Only thing is its a pre facelift, it has factory xenons, (not aftermarket) full cream leather with electric memory drivers seat which is like new, no cracks as its been garaged for almost all of its life. One previous owner and currently owned by my father who drives it a few times a year. Bodywork is original and near immaculate, a few bonnet stone chips and the only issue are 2 rust bubbles coming through from 2 wings but only about a inch wide.

It also comes with ultra rare refubished 17 inch lorinsers RS90 with nearly new goodyear eagle F1 tyres.

My father is looking for £5000 with the wheels if you are interested.

Thanks for the post, whereabouts are you located and is there any chance to see some close up pics (especially of the rust)?

No problem, I've still got it and I need to sell it now as I found an W220 I want, so I'd take £3k for it if you change your mind.
