Description
Finally on $1 reserve, sorry for the wait those who have watched for months.
Awesome car, will come with new wof once bushes are replaced as per wof sheet in photos.
My initial notes from previous auctions, I had the car up for $10k which is a lot!
NZ New W202 Mercedes-Benz C280 V6, m112 5 speed auto, 5G-Tronic Factory detachable tow bar / towbar AMG Monoblock wheels + full set of bottle cap wheels. Blue leather interior Blaupunkt Audio Some spares from a parts car.
I worked for Mercedes-Benz for a fairly long time and so jumped at the chance to buy this NZ C280 V6. I've had help from friends at the dealership to maintain it and have used industry connections to get the best servicing items.
Lowered slightly with Springs and thinner OE suspension cups
Driving this car reminds me of my old R34 skyline, very similar, and it uses 10L/100km, same as my Mx5.
Bluetooth headunit - Pioneer MVHS215BT (comes with original, needs new security card)
It has heaps of safety like ABS and 7 airbags.
Paint is tidy but does have scuffs. Front and rear bumpers are a little tatty.
Headlining has started to slightly sag, seat controls have an occasional intermittent fault which sometimes means you cannot adjust them, common issues on w202.
This is an old Euro and would suit as a first enthusiast car or daily driver.
My intention was to keep this long term but I have since purchased other vehicles and I think it is time for someone else to enjoy owning this wonderful car.
Can come with some spacers for the AMG wheels if the buyer likes, no charge.
Pick up or viewing in Churton Park or CBD. Wellington.
Photos are a little old now, but it hasn't changed and I've added two more with the bottle cap wheels & wof sheet.
Wof will be sorted before sale, just serviced on the 16th of April at Wellington European.
Inspection welcome and preferred!

Those were used on the early cars with the inline 6 and lasted around 5 years, this is a version two which never had those looms :) Easiest identifier is the engine, v6 are all version 2 (face-lift) hobsl (172 • Sunday, 28 April 2024 )You're welcome to have it inspected if you're concerned though Seller comment Sunday, 28 April 2024 There's still time to come by for a viewing, keep in mind that a bid is a commitment to purchase.
