Nice one Steve. IMHO it's just about the perfect time to buy a 210. They've lost all their money now, but are still new/nice enough to be good cars still. You'd struggle to find a good 124 diesel for that money too. FWIW, I'm considering offing the 300TE at some point and moving up a bit. It doesn't get a lot of use but I feel that I'm nearly done with mine now - can't be bothered to spend anything on it now and IMHO it's getting on a bit. Saw a pretty good E430 estate go on eBay today for just over £1300. Long MOT/year's tax/new tyres etc - seems like a logical upgrade to me. First thing to check on these IMHO is the front spring perches and the crossmember - the rest is mainly cosmetic/niggly stuff. For what you paid I think you've got a great car there - makes you realise sometimes what good value cars are about for next to no money these days. Will |

It runs hot. Looks like they put the jumper on there so they can force the fan on to cool it in stationary traffic. |

dont like it found out my regulator has gone on the heater blower not a prob you would think except mercedes decided to upgrade the motor fan and regulator mid build "before" i have the old style "of course" and you can not get the regulator its the whole upgrade option at hundreds of pounds but you can get a w140 s class regulator still and this can be retro fitted to my fan so not the end of the world should i not be able to sorce onealthough i may be in luck will find out in a few days time (Thanks to UKmerctechie) |

well the w210 has plastic light covers and these tarnish over time sooooo i removed mine and had a go at polishing them the first attempt with rubbing compounds proved dissapointing so i got the big guns out and went for a 800 grit paper then 1200 ( i would have then gone 1500 grit but had run out ) then g3 then g10 then auto glym polish and finally meguires waxyou can see the difference ![]() a lot of elbow grease and time but the results speak for them selves i feel and time well spent

I like the 210, particularly the E320b cdi estate, in Avantgarde spec, powerful value for money nowadays. Pick one with minimal rust, and you've got a car that will give you many years of enjoyable motoring.

Ive always loved the 210 E class, brilliant car Steve. Found some snaps of my old E280 v6 avantgarde, lowered with Eibachs on 8jx18 AMG reps. Cant beleive how cheap they are now, I sold mine for £7,500 in 2005 http://yfrog.com/1qdscn0017wj http://yfrog.com/0ldscn0490qpj |
