After the ribbing about my frontera I decided to change my car bought this gem mercedes 240 elegance auto for the nice sum of £600 plus auction cost of £92 total price £692
Will post some more pics once ive taken some this is off the auction site web page so its the only one I have
Yes I still have the frontera so if any body wants a cheap run about im selling it with the personal plate but it will need a new Mot on it as it runs out in June.

Much better than the Fronturda

good purchase for that money too. Prefer the saloons, but for load lugging you wont get much better at that price

Is this from before, or during Mercedes' dodgy period?

Its got a few little rust patches but nothing serious you have to expect that for a car 12 years old.
Ok the paint was a little dull but a few hours graft with the polish it soon brightened it up

You cant even buy a decent push bike for the money I paid for it
Im chuffed to bits with it

130k runs like a dream took my mate with me whos been in the motor trade since the year dot and he gave it the thumbs up
The gearbox changes nice and there is no clunks or bangs from it.
Just got the log book back last owner was a Doctor so im pretty sure its been looked after
