Just bought a S320 CDI!

[kheath74]

I have finally bought a S320 CDI, 2002 with 100K but a really good example and as many extras as I could want. Closing boot, keyless go, fridge, tv, 19" alloys, Brabus body kit.

I have to admit I cannot wait to get driving in it! The body condition looks good, no malfunctions, and all electrics work, paintjob is an oil mix of black, purple and blue but you cant have it all!

So glad to be a Merc owner again!

Cheers

Kyle

Sounds good,,when do you pick it up

 

[kheath74]

Tomorrow with luck, settling purchase and tax included so just got to sort insurance and away we go! Have to admit to looking at a lot of 7-10K S320s and this is first with no malfunctions when starting, one previous owner and FSH so reckon Im onto a good one.

S320 cdi

Here are some photos, its a beautiful car and only one owner, a Shiek from London it seems, so I think it may have been used as a limo.

 

[tromppost]

great photos, looks like you have been cleaning it!

 

[jubhi]

Nice car, all the best with it.

 

[eGuru]

Really like that colour. Is it a LWB?

 

[kheath74]

The DVLa documents state it is not a L model but it does feel like one and has all the extras you would get in that spec. I found another like this in Notts for 14K this week but it sold in under 4 hours, the dealer said that good spec models like this are appearing but selling in super fast times now.

these are all I have,, it is a very high spec car and you will need to change that TV to diggi shorty

 

[kheath74]

Damn I had a sweep stakes with the lads I work with on what would need changing first and no one has the TV! So with the TV moving to digital what would need to be done to convert the TV receiver?

 

[television]

Do what I did and add a £25 domestic digi box, mine even worked in Sweden, I will talk you through it when you are ready

 

[tromppost]

Really like that colour. Is it a LWB?

by looking at the photos it's not the LWB.

 

[kheath74]

I would be interested to know how to fit the digital tuner for sure! I have on issue, the fridge doesnt work. The dealer showed it to me and said he had no idea on it so at present it doesnt switch on and the seals are perished, the whole unit can be replaced according to the manual but Im guessing a replacement isnt going to be cheap!

Does anyone know which fuse controls the fridge so I can check that first>
