For sale is a cheap bit of summer fun (when it arrives). Got this as a stop gap car for my in-laws to use whilst their one was having some major engine work completed. It has served them well over the past few weeks and is now surplus to requirements.
This is a rare ‘Sport’ model – the majority of these are either in Elegance or Avantgarde trim. These come with the exclusive diamond cut 16” alloy wheels, white binnacle dials and exterior ‘Sport’ badges.
Mechanically spot on. Starts first turn of the key. No leaks - does not drip and fluid. No overheating. Idles in the correct manner.
The ‘M112’ engine pulls like an absolute train. No hesitation or power loss. Feels like all the horses are still there!
3199cc / V6 / 224 BHP / 232 lb-ft Torque / 30+ MPG / 140+ MPH
Gearbox is sound and changes smoothly. Sports mode engages as it should. Goes through all gears fine.
Sport suspension is tight and solid, and keeps the car planted. There is a slight knock over uneven surfaces, which seems like an anti-roll bar link. Exhaust bracket also has a slight rattle.
Tyres are decent, and matching on each axle. Brakes are ok with no major shuddering or pulling, and stop the car fine.
The roof works fine, but suffice to say, it has not been used in the recent terrible weather. You need to unhook it manually, and then pull the red button on the centre console. The windows drop, the rear of the roof raises, the rear panel near the boot lifts up, the roof folds down into that compartment, and then the rear panel closes. Quite a clever and complex mechanism. Also comes with a wind dfeflector.
The car is in presentable condition, but not new or perfect and it wasn’t treated as a garage queen! It has marks, blemishes, scratches and stone chips as to be expected. A few rust bubbles near the boot lid, and some of the arches. It has a few spots where the paint work has gone flat. The front and rear bumpers have a few scuffs on the corners. Would benefit from a good detail to bring out the former shine. Wheels require a refurb if you want perfection.
Interior is all solid and in one piece. Marks and blemishes in line with age. No major rips or tears. Leather would benefit from a good feed and deep clean, but perfectly serviceable as is.
Everything works as it should. There are no warning lights on the instrument cluster. There is a separate switch for the fan. There is also a separate flick switch fitted for the reverse lights (no idea why). Heaters work great and get nice and toasty. Wipers, windscreen washers, electric windows, horn, etc, all operate correctly.
Comes with: One Remote Key, Mercedes Folder, User Manual and Booklets, MOT Certificate.
