Good evening! I’ve been a motorist for 30 odd years … I have had many other German and especially Swedish cars , but I bought my very first Merc this week… a 2005 S203 , C180 K with only 64k miles , and what a lovely refined drive ! Hopefully I won’t be as often in here asking questions as I was with my old Saabs and Volvos …

Hi there
My first Mercedes was the same colour.
Where in the world are you (not UK I see)?

 

[old man Logan]

I'm guessing Ireland?

Welcome to the forum

Looks like a nice example, very nice colour.

Thanks to everyone who sent welcome wishes. It's a lovely example that hasn't seen much use for a few years. Just NCT test (MOT) every year and only a few hundred miles some years . Same owner since 2008 . Would appear that it never has seen a brush wash and the inside is like new.
Going to research a nice audio unit that looks as factory as possible and keep it original.

It looks super clean, well looked after

Very nice indeed. The fact it looks like its never been through an auto car wash has paid back in the latter years. Those things are so damaging to paintwork.

No they're not... unlicensed hand washes in old petrol filling stations cause much more damage
