They are OK but when you spill some drink down into the gearshift housing you will not think so

Lovely piece of engineering - well worth the £35 list price from the dealer IMO, and great if you can get it for less. Who wants to use them when you are moving anyway!

Buy from the dealer, much cheaper. Yes they're good, I have one.

Hi,
The ones on E-BAY always seem to go for around £50. From MB they are a lot cheaper look below,
I have an old accessories catalogue for 202s and 210s and there listed in there.
W202 CUPHOLDER-(for high console)-black-B6 692 0102 £23.44
W202 CUPHOLDER-(for low console)-black-B6 692 0103 £14.34

W210 CUPHOLDER-(for high console)-black-B6 692 0101 £23.98
W210 CUPHOLDER-(for low console)-black-B6 692 0103 £14.34

I think they may fit a 208 CLK to but not to sure.

The prices were correct in June 2001 and they are all still valid according to

And still within a few pence the same price, 1 was even cheaper.
Hope this is of some help.

Yes the ebay ones tend to go for around £50. It's very easy to lose sight of real values on ebay. I followed a few last year and they went for £70-£90! I paid £35 on ebay for mine. Thought it was a bargain until I discovered the delivery and VAT took it to £50. I was still happy given what I'd seen them go for. Only after did I call the dealer to discover they were around £55 over the counter (for the 211 one) ! It's also not nearly as nice as the 202/210 version.

was on the website there but i am a bit confused as to a low and high console

Hi
I was bit confused at that point myself but 'i think' the low console, it mounts in the oddment bin behind the gear change. High console goes in the storage space under the arm rest of the centre console
w202s also came with rear cup holders in the centre of the rear seat in the hinged arm rest. I,m afraid i do not know that Pt. no.

my car has the 2 cup holders in the rear arm rest to just in front of the secret medical kit compartment, perhaps someone could give me a wee pointer here as to what one to buy

i have a 2001 320 cdi i would like to buy the cup holder that gos in behind the gear changer thing me bob, if someone could guide me in the right direction it would be a great help

Hi,
I think the one your looking for would be c-class w202 B6 692 0103 e-class w210 B6 692 0101 but the MB Dealer could advise that this is correct
