For Sale SOLD Mercedes C220CDI Estate MOT to 05/17 FSH fully loaded

[a60rod]

As title my trusty W203 for sale.

Owned 4 1/2 years, been a very reliable work horse and excellent tow vehicle. COmes with factory fitted swan neck tow bar with key.

Full leather with no rips or tears as regularily fed.

Always used original parts except air filter which is K &N and comes with cleaning kit.

New AC rad. New front pads couple thousand ago. New antiroll bar and brackets and droplinks, seems its common for them to snap.

The autobox serviced inc new filter and fluid.

Bonus is it doesnt have xenon or suchlike PITA headlights.

Recent auxiliary belt as old one cracking.

The 'door locks that bounce' affliction was sorted with new lock springs, the Black Death (yawn) was averted but recutting and replacing the injector seals.

Plastic sill covers removed a few years ago and the box sections waxoyled as was the whole under side of the rear end.

Basically it was maintained to keep it reliable as I was doing a lot of miles.

Thats now changed and work from home or take bike to London so its for sale.

 

Stacks of receipts, all owners books, built in sat nav CD and full size spare and toolkit.

Comes with handy spares like genuine fuel line o-rings, genuine fuses yep the big ones.

 

Mileage is 'about run in' at 213k

 

Needs a battery but make a sensible offer I;ll get one, they're only £70 so dont try to knock off £150 for a battery eh!

 

Offers around £1100 for this luxury Deutsche mobile with Carat by Duchatalet armoured car wheels made for them by Ronal! Serious, its stamped in the reverse.

 

Thanks for looking

 

PS I do have the original front number plate plinth but preferred it without.

Good God, that's vile.

 

GLWTS though, a lot of life left in it yet and an ideal car for a family. 

[SiC]

I like it. Alloys not for me, but rest of it looks nice. Are the merc badges/bonnet thing missing?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Beaten several times with the council stick.

 

They drive well though.

[a60rod]

Thank you. They're such an unstressed engine they plod on and this year and model werent afflicted with the awful rust issues of a few years previous. Why vile though?

[Richard]

Cavcraft isn't a fan of German cars, or Fords.

 Saloons, definitely, not seen any estates round those necks of the woods.

I have the original wheels & bonnet emblem but the grill bit the dust with a pigeon wedged in it. Original new was silly money so treated it to the plain black. I did have a MG53 anti aircraft sight on the bonnet once but thats a different interest of mine!

[Bren]

Billy thought my vectra estate was fit.

[Vantman]

Whereabouts in Kent are you?

[a60rod]

Paddock Wood, Tonbridge and Snodland.

Edit: Scratch that, from tonight car will be SORN so will be near J4 of the M20

I do like Mercs as it goes, had a few and wouldn't kick another out of bed, ditto quite a few BMWs. It's only really VAG stuff I'm not keen on.

[greengartside]

That. Is. Beautiful. I love these shape Mercs.

 

Sadly I have not enough monies for this example.

 

I spied a dark Red C220 CDi 'Classic' estate in my breaker's yard months ago - again barely run in at 217k or thereabouts. It had been in use up to the morning it was scrapped too. Had the full leather which was strange as it was the base model!

GLWTS.

[Lord Sterling]

Lovely car these, 'KS' registered to registered by Mercedes fleet or something, a lot of Mercs on the new style reg seem to be plated 'K..x..',

 

A fella I know is selling a similar C200 in saloon form.

[a60rod]

It was supplied by MB Oxford. I think I've got the invoice too I seem to recall. Scary depreciation.

[a60rod]

Will now come with standard wheels as well as those fitted

[They_all_do_that_sir]

I done a fair bit of work on one of these for a mate recently (albeit a saloon)

 

I was pleasantly surprised at how easily everything came apart, not a seized bolt in sight. replaced rear discs, pads, brake shoes, springs and a front wishbone.

 

Absolute pleasure to work on though his is the only example I have had a spanner near and he keeps it very tidy.

[a60rod]

They are a pleasure to work on. Maybe as they are RWD? On these it's just pre electric everything so a lot is vacuum controlled so easy fixes. What you can buy genuine and cheap is stunning. Look on ebay for front tow eye cover, £10- 15 s/hand. New? Less than ten painted your colour.

[Longblackcoat]

Good car, good price - they cruise really nicely at 80+ and are a zillion times nicer than a Vectra, Mondeo etc for the same money. Plus spare parts aren't that expensive and there are loads of Merc specialists to service them.

 

What's the spec level - Classic, Avantgarde etc?

[a60rod]

Tis an Elegance.

All it needs is a buyer!

Servicing is easy. Top mounted element type oil filter. Like you say, parts not too bad at all price wise.

[RoadworkUK]

This, for a W203, is mechanically Good News. OM646 engine is nowhere near as prone to armageddon as the OM651, with no tragic performance defecit, either. I find them a far nicer steer than the later, better handling but otherwise miserable W204.

 

Kept rust free, and with regular replacement of suspension bits as necessary, this could last forever.

[a60rod]

SOLDSOLD Many Thanks To All p

[Vantman]

            Sorry,no collection thread,too cold and too wet!!

[Lacquer Peel]

I like the 'wrong' wheels.

[Vantman]

I like the 'wrong' wheels.

 

They look a lot better in real life than they do in the pictures,i will attempt to find some centre caps but it could be a challenge finding some.
