W210/211 E320 Elegance estate wanted

[fwb44]

My friend has got it into her head that she wants a very late W210/not-too-early W211 E320 Elegance petrol estate, in spite of its being known as the rich woman's car - and she ain't. Rich that is. But there only seem to be about four of them available in this country at any one time - and they get snapped up within days! No, she doesn't want a diesel - I've tried that. Can anyone help?

Hi,

very late W210/not-too-early W211 E320 Elegance petrol estate,

Afaik, she's looking for something that doesn't exist. When the W210 superseded the W124 in 1996(?), the E320 was petrol, complemented by the E300 (turbo)diesel. However, that only lasted 'til 1999, when the E320 diesel superseded the E300. When the W211 superseded the W210, the engine types didn't change.

However, I'm no sort of expert on this, so you may wish to await one.

Hth.

Regards,

Thanks for that. I think I've persuaded her to get a W211 E320 CDI estate after all! Not that there's a huge choice available - a good sign I guess
