Description
Here for sale is a very nice car for the right buyer. 53 plate w220 s350, genuine low miles for its age, very clean interior and a solid body. The car has full service history, most of it from Watford Mercedes with the previous owner who owned it for around 16-17 years. Since I’ve owned it I’ve used trusted garages I know that specialise in German cars. I’ve kept the car in as good condition as I can with regular cleans and yearly servicing, plus any work that’s needed doing in between. Most recently it’s had an mot, with a new nearside front lower control arm, and I’ve just replaced the airmatic compressor and all mountings for the compressor costing over £1000. Since owning (2 years) ive had the gearbox oil replaced, all 4 alloy wheels refurbed, toyo tyres all round, air con compressor replaced, an electrical drain on the battery fault found and rectified, I fitted a genuine Mercedes right wing Mirror to fix a broken indicator, 2 months ago replaced the wipers with genuine merc ones, had work done underneath that was flagged on an mot, oil cooler pipe and a vent pipe at the rear, made by the garage I use for this car. Rear brakes done and fronts cleaned last year, fuel filter, oil level sensor replaced, pollen filters changed by me this year, air filters by me, I’ve also jubilee clipped the air intakes for a better flow of air. I run the car on Tesco momentum and use redex every tank to keep it running as smooth as possible. Fully tailored thick car mats and I’ve recently touched up a lot of the paint that had age related marks. It’s been serviced on time since owning it. Headlight washers work as they should. Boot door can be opened from the drivers window control and the key. Full size spare wheel under boot floor with tools and fuses. Varta battery that starts first time every time. I also changed all the wheel nuts to black as they look better, but still have the original ones I’ve you wanted them.
It’s a strong engine for its age and has plenty of pull, I’ve kept the interior as clean as I can, conditioned the leather 2 times since owning. Full electric seats with lumbar adjustment for driver & passenger, heated seats, front and rear parking sensors, sport mode and comfort mode to suit your driving style. Automatic or manual climate control, air con is still cold, fm radio works well and I bought a nav disc that you can use in the head unit as navigation. I bought genuine Mercedes screen wash and have only ever used that. I’ve used strong polytop oversized number plate fixings on the front plate so there’s no worry of it falling off. AUX port in the glovebox to play through your phone.
Most of the work carried out for the car is under my private registration which has been on the car most of the time I’ve owned it. The vin is on the service paperwork which you’ll be able to see.
Small issues now that the next buyer will possibly want to address:
The sunroof developed a slight leak last year in heavy rain, so in the winter I tape up the sunroof and it stops any water getting in at all. Seal probably wants replacing or the drain holes blasted out. It is however fully operational when you want to use it.
If you need the rear screen de mister on when using the radio, it cuts the signal off almost fully. Possibly a break in the heat element lines on the rear screen but I’ve never been bothered enough by it as I use cds mainly.
The original owner had tvs fitted in the headrests, and a dvd player put with the cd changer in the boot. The dvd player and tvs don’t work as this was the cause of the battery drain so it was unplugged. You could remove them if you wanted to or try to get them working.
The cd changer is a bit hit and miss, but the cd player in the head unit is fine.
It is obviously an older car, but some of the paintwork could probably do with a buffing or touch up better than I can do.
Tiny round chip on one alloy that I’ve tried my best to touch up.
That’s everything listed as honestly as I can think of. This car was bought by the original owner, who I don’t think had it too many years. The next owner kept it for 15-17 years I’m not exactly sure on dates, who my dad ended up knowing. He got too old to drive, so a relative bought it from him, the idea for them and the car didnt work out so I bought it from them and got it all fixed up. 4 owners total but the previous owner (my relative) only had it about 5-6 months
This car will suit the right person, for daily commuting or just a weekend cruiser. It’s powerful when you want it, easy to drive and you don’t see many of them about.
It has some cool features on it and it can carry 4-5 people happily. It’s quiet to be in, smooth on the road and stands out from the crowd of modern cars. Sound system is good as well.
