  • SO THE HUNT for a W210 took an interesting turn the other day! Lo and behold one of the nicest units of the E200 (non-Kompressor) that I've ever come across. And do note the registration number too; is this fated? :P
    I've been quite keen on the W210 for some time now, as mentioned in a previous video, it wasn't always that way, in fact when they first appeared on the scene two decades ago, I wasn't a fan at all. Many were with me on this, coming to terms with that "big eye, small eye" headlight configuration wasn't easy, and many thought that MB AG had lost their minds.
    However, fast-forward 20yrs later and I gotta say its unique styling has really grown on me. There's just something about the slab-sidedness of this car that makes it look so robust and appealing in this day and age, and while styling is indeed subjective, imho, this car has aged very well.
    As at the time of uploading this video, it remains unsold, but I reckon it won't be that way for long. The great thing is that despite being just a naturally-aspirated 2.0L, 4pot, it doesn't feel at all underpowered, and is actually quite quick given its size. Another added benefit, cheaper annual road tax :)

    I remember the day I went with my uncle to collect his brand new E 200 W 210, the showrooms doors at cycle and carriege lifted up and we rolled out slowly from the dealership, he was so proud to buy his first Mercedes, and he's looked back fondly on the W 210 after a string of S classes, always proclaiming thats the best car he ever owned...

    I remember hating the big eye small eye as well last time, in the early 2000s but after a W211 came into the house, now i stare at the W210/W211 on the road with a smile. Somehow the design is just timeless and these cars live up to their heritage of being solid/safe cars.

    I remember my dad bought this exact model and same color brand spanking new from C&C. Full of memories. Did 250k km in 5 years of ownership. Fun fact, there is a cassette player hidden behind the radio display. I think bottom right button opens it. The screen will flip down.
    Also remember the salesman saying something about the whole sound system runs on fibre optic wiring. Solid car. Almost never see a crashed one where it's crumpled beyond the firewall.

  • @AzzamLah
    @AzzamLah 3 года назад +1

    My family has a similar model; W210 E200 non-Kompressor facelifted Avantgarde, but it was a 2002 recond unit from the UK, so it has more buttons on the dashboard (heated front seats, etc.) and fully leather wrapping on the steering wheel. I totally agree about it being like a tank. The smell of the leather seats is still there, all parts are still working like a champ, smooth pick up from standstill, and comfortable handling even on bad roads. I drove it from time to time before replacing my 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8 XG-L with the new Almera Turbo last November. Driving it feels so premium, and maintenance cost is not that bad.

    What a Beautiful W210 Chris, pretty Mint! I think its typically normal for a Merc to run above the 80 degrees mark. It should be operating 80 - 90 degrees on the temperature gauge. Usually Once the engine is fully warmed up it should sit 90 degrees on the temp Gauge. If the Temperature is unstable then it could possibly be a faulty Thermostat. Anyway Awesome Video Chris, Enjoyed it as always !

  • @tarankaulsay7839

    You mentioned that door locks and unlocks.. This could be due to door light switch at the door panel not having proper contact when the door is closed. I suggest you walk around the car and see that all doors are flushed nicely with the body. A quick fix is to adjust your door locking mechanism or simply using some tape at the door panel so the switch goes all the way in. I hope this solves your problem.
