Wanted To BUY - A nice example W211 E320 or E280 CDI Estate.

[Cotswolder]

Hi all. I am on the look out for an E320 or E280 CDI estate W211 (S211).

Ideally;
2007 - 2009
Circa 100,000 miles.
Full service history.

If anyone has one that they would like to sell, or hears of a good example then please let me know.

Thank you.

Best MB ever! Timeless

I bought one last year, a really good one. Pay up to £6k and get the best one available , you won't regret it. You will have to fix a few things now and then as it's an old car but they're worth the investment , and they look timeless.

Still looking guys. I have the E280 saloon but family requirements needing me to find the estate version. Please get in touch. Thank you.

My e280 is now officially up for sale, details in the classified section of this forum.

Don't rule out an earlier pre facelift car; I have had both and imho the earlier om648 is a better car.

 

[Cotswolder]

Bump. Still looking and I will pay strong money for a good honest one. If you’re thinking of selling then please get in touch. Thank you.

How important is mileage to you? Or is conditon the deal breaker?

Condition, service history and any common recent maintenance repairs would be more important to me than a strict “circa 100k miles”.

Thank you.

Even if it's "too expensive" it's always worth talking with the owner about the car.

Until then you have no idea whether they're going to hold on for six months to get the price they're asking or whether they really want to clear a space in the garage because their new motor's already arrived.

And... you'll form a view on the nature of the car and the owner. There's an enormous difference between a much loved 20 year old vehicle and one that's had loads of owners, an erratic history, and which has lived near the sea at Scarborough. (No offence, Scarborough, but you know what I mean)

100% agree but didn’t have time
Get a good one
I did and it’s a joy to own
We favour it always , even over my 911

Hi all. Thanks for the comments.

I went to view one today, but it wasn’t for me and something didn’t sit right with me tbh. It’s amazing how photos can make things look better than they really are. £60 travel journey down the drain but I don’t mind as I would rather wait for a minty one that ticks all my boxes, worth waiting for the right one as it will be a “forever car”! Just wish I’d bought one back in 2009!

If anyone hears of a good one then please do give me a shout.

Thank you.

There's a nice Gold one on Car and Classic but it's gold!! Again I don't think it has heated seats. Seller is the chap I bought mine from, works from home but seems to get some good cars.

I think that’s been for sale on here a couple of months ago.

Is that the JCB cars sales one?

Yeah it is , it's who I bought mine from (which was a good one) but ...
