Not a bad spec on that car.

The only options are the Leather, Xenons & sports suspension the rest is standard. Still nice to have a S210 E320 CDI

The "parameter steering," would that be standard or an option?

 

[Dave's E55 AMG]

I have that on mine, I don't know what it is though!

Looks good on paper, depending on price of course.

If the car is right and the spec is at the level your looking for, seems OK.

The extras that are missing from my spec are:

Climate (very good)

Electric seats (heated if poss)

Sunroof (nice in the summer as I don't have an SL)

7 seats (very useful and good for resale)

Better specs are out there if your patient, depends how long you are prepared to wait.

I spent 6 mths looking for the right car, the 124 I owned was pretty basic and I didn't want to do that again.

Parameter steering was standard, speed sensitive I believe.

It's like BMW's £1200 option "Servotronic" The steering is lighter when you go slow and gets heavier the faster you go.
I just wondered if it's an option.

I think it is an option as it's down on my option list.

Didn't ask about climate, thought it would standard.
Price 12k, which I think is too much.
No seven seats.

Hi Gary,
Aircon is standard, you can tell at a glance which is which by the fact that there are two adjustment knobs for setting temp, one for each side for normal AC. Climate is optional and is an oblong unit about same size as the audio facia that sits above with digital display.

12K is top dollar, it needs to be pristine and come with a comprehensive 12 month warranty for that price, some room to negotiate I think.

I think the popularity of the 320CDi is starting to show through in S/H values at the moment.

Hope this helps

standard on the 320 and up. Option on everything else.
