what 750 quid gets you nowadays ...

Stunning Mercedes c280 sport ( must see!) | United Kingdom | Gumtree


Seems super value to me especially considering the arch spats alone are worth 100 quid !

Why does he say it's semi auto?

 

[grober]

Tiptronic?

 

[renault12ts]

Tiptronic?

No...it's the older one...you can see by the pattern on the selector box.

The advertiser also states it is a 1988 model, but an 'S' plate should be 1998.
I wonder what else is inaccurate

I suspect the Blueprint radio is a Blaupunkt.

Sold my 230k for £800 in February, similar condition and full MOT. Bargain motors and very trustworthy engines!

I can't say mine got me attention everywhere I went though. My C43 doesn't either...

Typical forum nit picking here - it looks like a lovely car in very good condition for it's age and for £745 a bargain IMHO

If I needed one I'd be on the phone today.

The truth is that the majority of people who have a car to sell don't have a degree in English, nor are they car salesman. It's not exactly your typical 'try hard' advert, nor is it glossed over or exaggerated so I don't see the issue with minor inaccuracies such as misspelling the brand of stereo fitted or calling an automatic gearbox 'semi automatic'.

That's for peanuts.

Bangernomics at it's finest, if a bit juicy.

A mate of mine still has his W202, got it a year after my 2nd one.

We went down to London in it a couple of weeks ago, I couldnt get over how narrow it was, sitting in the passenger seat I could almost reach the headlight switch. Also was alarmed at the bodyroll, (it was an esprit model) compared to mine.

Still love the W202 and would recommend that for £700 to anyone.

Pity it doesnt have its factory fit 17" Monoblocks anymore, although those W210 wheels do look good on it.

Noticed the AMG kickplates aswell.

 

[stwat]

Those are the correct wheels for the sports chassis models.

 

[KillerHERTZ]

No they arent, they are off a W210 the correct 16"s for a W202 Sport facelift are:

And this actual car in the OP had the wheel arch slats so it came factory fitted with 17"s:

 

[DSM10000]

I have always liked the W202 saloon and that looks very nice and for that price it seems to be good value.

I quite fancy it just for a day to day car but I think we may need to get rid of one of the others to make space although, having said that, the MX5 is in the body-shop having a few cosmetic issues attended to

[flango]

If that were closer I'd be going for a look and then probably a divorce so maybe £745 isn't cheap lol

Looks really great, like the colour too.

Agreed. Looks like a great way to spend £745. Probably less once you've haggled the tax position.

Indeed. I'm sure without being too pushy it could be had for 700 and then flog off the AMG arch trims as Poormanporsche said for a 100 quid.

How would you haggle the tax position ?
