Exterior colour/varnish/body:

Clear lines and a classic design make the Mercedes an absolute eye-catcher. With its surfer blue paintwork, the body is absolutely convincing. The paint finish was harmoniously combined with black bumpers. However, it is assumed that the hood and fenders were repainted. Nevertheless, the car, as the pictures prove, makes a visually neat impression.

Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:

Simple, but visually appealing, silver 14-inch rims with original Mercedes plastic wheel covers round off the exterior design. 175/70R14 82H tires are mounted on the rims, which still have sufficient tread depth. The owner attests to the condition of the brake system of 70 to 90%. The chassis is characterized by a good balance between comfort and driving stability. In addition, there are no known discrepancies in the entire chassis.

The beige interior offers a visually appealing contrast to the surfer blue paintwork. The seats with their beige fabric covers form the foundation of the interior. The timeless black dashboard with a classic four-spoke steering wheel completes the complete design. Other features include power steering, central locking and a Mercedes radio. According to the information available to us, the seat bolster of the driver's seat has slight damage and the front jukeboxes need to be replaced. Apart from that, the interior is in an age-appropriate condition.

Mileage:

The Mercedes was able to gain 224,000 kilometers of experience over almost 19 years. This value is completely comprehensible thanks to a complete checkbook. All instruments are fully functional.
