Picked this up as a runaround last week. 1 owner, low miles and full history and not a mark on it!! Its one of the last w210 models made and whilst it looks like the 55 its actully a little 2.6 V6 which is fine as I have the RS6 for playing.
Its the first car i've brought where i've not even had to give it a polish! The previous owner did that for me.

Nice car and its an avantgarde spec too. that'll be perfect for swallowing the miles up. Might be worth getting then gearbox oil flushed and replaced if its not already been done.

I do actually quite like these - remember being in one that was a Greek taxi and it had 460k on it!

Hope it serves you well.

Comfy cars, no rust (stereotypical question but this era of Mercedes does seem to get hit badly)?

Totally agree on the tranny oil. Mine came out looking like treacle, the new stuff went in looking like strong Ribena.

The drop links on the front suspension can go, cheap part but an hour or twos labour to fix.

I went through 2 MAS sensors.

Mine was great - I had the 2.4 version of yours. Bought with 55k, sold with 155. I loved it.
