Hello.... New MB owner ! (with pics !!)

[brad.benz]

Hi All,

Had a bit of a shock yesterday, my manager came in and GAVE ME !!!!
He's E280 !!!!!! He's moving to france and cant be bothered to sell it lol.

.

Yeah so lucky me !!
Anyway, I dont know a whole lot about these, so was wondering if anyone could enlighten me to what the interior options could be ? I cant tell from the pictures and I dont want to ask, as I think it sounds like I want it to be leather ect ect... Also it would be great for anything I need to look out for while owning it

Thanks,

Brad.

Awesome !! I dont know the vin number though Does anyone have any links to a website that contains information on them ? Also is it a W124

It's a W124. Very nice car is the E280, although, we've found ours to be a little juicy (Circa 23mpg).

Looks like one extra would be an external upgrade as there's a spoiler and sporty bumpers.

Going by my E280, it'll have Air Con, Dual Front Air Bags, Electric Windows and Sunroof, ABS, LSD...

Could have leather. It's a bit hit and miss though, can't tell until you get into it. If it has, it'll probably have heated leather in the front, might have electric seats too.

Nice car! Same colour as mine as well...

The VIN number will be in the log book and at the bottom passenger side of windscreen, include the WDB

Welcome to the forum.

That's the sort of 'shock' we don't mind at all!! Nice plate as well.

Now you just need to pluck up the courage to ask him to give it a good clean before he hands over the keys.
It is a W124, a real nice car to own.
I donated mine to my son a few weeks ago; but still find excuses to borrow it.
Strange thing is that it is always virtually empty!!!
I don't care too much if I can put a few miles on the clock.
Have fun with it.

Thanks for the comments guys... I havent picked it up yet, the number plate is staying on it as well !!

There is only one thin I would like to do to it, ands thats put a dual twin exit exhaust system on it, I think that would really finish the back off !

 

[jerrytommygal]

Wow! What luck, lovely car! Congratulations!
So are your workmates green with envy?

From the pics it appears that someone nicked the headlamp wipers? Is the sytem foolproof?
