Yeah would be nice to watch the doors,dashboard and passenger seats moving away....haha!

When you activate the seat moving away then you actually do lol

I know what your saying and I really shouldn't want airmatic but after trying a car with it (damn you Rodger;)) I really do think that if I'm going to get something it's got to have it, same with dynamic seats, probably don't need it but if I can have them then why not.

there is the other thing that I actually prefer the look of the 219 over the 218, not sure why but the 218 (although a lovely looking motor) just misses something for me :(

not sure if it was standard or an option on the 221 with ABC being the standard fit if not (i.e. if it didn't have airmatic it would have ABC or vice versa)

a few more miles on that than the other one, same spec though which is nice :) the only thing that is missing would be Distronic (other one doesn't have it either), but I'm sure Andy added it to his 55 in the past

The "Grand Editions" are nice and MB do load them up

I didn't think they did hey grand edition until the facelift, which would make me think is it really just a 320 badged as a 350?

That is very nice,

They certainly know how to prepare a car Matt but looking beyond the valet the car does look as if it's been well cared for, there is no wear for instance on the interior inc the drivers bolster etc. It's probably been a motorway queen and valeted regularly

Good find, that looks worth extending the budget a bit...

I'd love to extend the budget to that, the wife on the other hand can't see a difference?

Grand Edition is the run out model, they did do a W219 as a 350CDi

For £1700 extra it's a no brainer IMO, really like the front end on those and it is very well specced

Agreed and it will stay 'current ' looking for longer so is more future proofed. Lovely car that
