	Model: Mercedes 300CE W124 Year: 1990 Mileage: 302800 Tax: Sept 2011 MOT: May 2012 Location: Greenhithe, Kent Price: £650 Additional Information: Haven't had this long, it was meant to be a bit of fun for the weekend, but I end up using it everyday and need something a bit more suited to my daily commute. Smoke Silver Paint Cream Leather Electric Windows x 4 (all work) Electric Sunroof (works on tilt and slide, doesn't leak) Electric Drivers seat (recline can be temperamental) Seatbelt feeders(?!) (drivers side works only) Electric Passenger mirror (works) Period Blaupunkt stereo with aux in (believe it or not!) sounds great even when playing casettes Snow chain button (rare I'm told) Car runs great, always starts first time, gearbox changes when it should and kicks down (I think it was replaced in 2005) No worrying noises or anything like that, just drives nice and smooth Car is in fantastic condition inside and out Bad points: Rear arches are a little rusty Scab under the drivers rear light Nasty scratch on rear quarter Oil dribble (not really a leak) Air con doesn't work (maybe a fuse as the light doesn't come on when you press the button) I have 2 service books full of stamps up to approx 285k miles MORE PICS TO FOLLOW Let me know if you have any questions

	Perhaps it's the big old 3.0 litre lump putting people off. It shouldn't, because they're really not too bad on juice. I think it's a fabulous motor. I sometimes wish I'd never bought my Previa, it's far too handy to let go. I'd love your coupe.

Thanks, your right, it isn't particularly juicy and even though it is powerful and quite quick the car doesn't encourage that kind of driving. I really don't want to ebay this, I will try and get some better pictures this evening.

	That's a thing of beauty, and if anyone is worried about the miles, don't be. 300k on a W124 is like 100k on a Mondeo - there's still loads of life left in her! GLWS Chirs

GLWS Chirs Thanks Chris You would never know it has covered over 300k. Not from it's condition, how the engine runs or how it drives. Dare I say offers?!
