The Interior
• Fully adjustable electric seats
• Well treated
• Very clean
Despite being 14 years old this Mercedes defiantly does not look its age. Testament to the previous owners care, the leather, wood and gloss finishes are really good. Looking at the switches and automatic transmission controls there is little to no evidence of wear. The only thing we noticed was the soft touch coating on the steering wheel entertainment system controls looked quite used but this is normal for this type of finish and is defiantly not excessive.
The wooden steering wheel and dashboard trim along with the satin chrome window and heater controls are super glossy and appear unmarked giving a hugely lavish finish and feel to the wonderfully and clean way this cockpit is finished.

Trademark black, thick and plush carpets adorn the floorspace giving you an ‘at home’ feel and don’t have any obvious areas of excessive wear or otherwise. A nice added addition is the Parrot hands free system which is neatly fitted and operational and the ‘Soft Close’ doors giving a very premium feel.
The Exterior
• Obsidian black paint
• Chrome accents
• Wheels in very good condition
Finished in Obsidian black that carries through the rear light clusters, this is possibly one of the best looks for a large luxury saloon Mercedes. Flashes of high polished chrome around the windows, door handles and grille add to the finish perfectly. We are pleased to see the wheels were almost unmarked with exception of a couple of light scratches that could be easily remedied.
Overall the exterior is very good for its age and would perhaps only be improved by a light machine polish to bring back the full lustre of the exceptional paint finish that Mercedes are know for.
Parking sensors are fitted to the rear and the front of this large saloon, these are factory fitted and colour coded to the car.
The Mechanics
• Mechanically sound
• Pneumatic suspension
• Properly serviced drivetrain & engine
As history tells us, Mercedes are renowned for longevity and reliabilty and of course with a proper service history this example will no doubt be set for many years and miles to come.
Equipped with a chain driven, 24 valve, 6 cylinder diesel that runs as smooth as it was new and a widely used 7 speed automatic (7G-Tronic) and all wheel drive giving an exceptional driving experience.

This example is beautifully presented under the bonnet, looking complete and unmolested. Everything appears to be in its correct place and undamaged showing good care from the service teams that have looked after it and of course the 2 previous owners.
We are informed the suspension including the pneumatic assisted suspension is tip-top condition and along with that the brakes and tyres are ready for the road ahead.

Summary
A low mileage and very well presented example of a large luxury saloon not wanting for much mechanically or otherwise. The interior being hard to fault and wonderfully equipped and the exterior looking well for its age, this is good opportunity to enter the luxury car market without breaking the bank
