Just saw this

Pretty much the twin sister of mine ....(though mine has 99k miles) .....but if you want, you can have mine for £4500 and put the rest in an ISA.

Wow! Nice car but price? Be interesting to see.

It’s done only 18k. Someone will buy that I am sure.

 

[Headhurts]

It’s in mint condition so if you have deep pockets and really want one then I guess this would tempt you, it’s got to be worth a punt for the seller.

Pretty good spec as well as some facelift lights installed, someone really cares for it, shame they never took it out to enjoy though

It looks lovely but the sceptic in me would worry about a car of that age that has only done around 1,000 miles a year is deteriorating somehow.
It points to very short trips to the shops or one big trip to Scotland a year

I suppose opinions differ

It is a facelift so the headlamps will be the original.

Not really a good spec. It lacks the the rear sunblind, massaging seats, ventilated seats, and adaptive cruise control. So, expensive for a less than average spec...with a special colour.

It's near Eastbourne so will have been to the golf club and main dealer and almost nowhere else

Doh, your right, I forgot the facelift on the 215 was 2003, not a great spec but does have massage seats but not ventilated, either way a lot of money for a car you can pick up for much less, unless you really are after a garage queen and holding it for decades

think your right matty , you would reeeeaaaalllyyy have to WANT one to pay that sort of cash for one , my 1200 knacker made sense to me but 19k for the same car but with 100k less miles ? neah , I'm out

I would be worried about the lack of use on the ABC

No, the seat panel shown is just to inflate the back rests manually...the massaging seat switch is different...I have them.

It's like a new car but with much more style. The low milage & pristine condition makes it exceptional. Lovely colour, fine interior. Full MB history. This is probably a one-owner car (though the ad doesn't say so). Whoever has held on to it all these years without driving it much, has taken a thrashing in depreciation. There'll be buyers out there who couldn't afford a new one in 2004 but have always wanted one. I paid over the odds for my car on that kind of reasoning. It's never seemed like bad value for money.

I’m looking in my phone so it did look like massage seats but I’ll take your word for it,

Regarding the toolkit, what are the items below & to the right of the spotless gloves -I have empty slots.

 

[Flyinspanner]

To the right of gloves - screwdriver handle. (Black)

Below gloves, the screwdriver blade. And a box plug spanner (+looks like a fuse diagram tucked under it)

So would I. And all other things electric, electronic. Different if I nicked it

Thank you, appreciated.
