I'm moving on. This is one of the last turbo diesels sold in the U.S. before M-B stopped sending them for a number of years. In-line 6 cylinder original engine and transmission. Performance is great--much better than the non-turbo W210s it replaced. 35 mpg highway. If you're looking for a fine diesel of this vintage this is one to consider. Only 207k miles. Weird wear on left side of leather steering wheel (Sun damage? This was a Florida car when I bought it there in 2006; it has been garaged since then). Very slight dent in driver’s door; you won’t see it without looking VERY carefully. Body in very good shape but like all W210s one must be watchful for rust. All the usual M-B features of the time, including sunroof, fine stereo (original cassette/stereo/phone replaced with German OE CD/stereo). Left front spring perch replaced by Cherry Hill M-B body shop around 2012. Serviced by Stuttgart M-B, s south NJ specialty shop. If interested leave a comment. Or text me at 967-741-5897*

*Hint: Use this number but subtract 1 from each of the 10 digits.

 

Update: Forget the stuff about the phone number. Text me or call at 856-630-4786 (be sure to leave a voice message so I can get back to you) if you're interested. Or reply to this post. The car is in south NJ about 17 miles east of Philadelphia. For those who follow the technical aspects the car has the original engine (606.962; no meaningful oil consumption) and transmission (722.608). Yes the transmission was "filled for life," which is utterly bizarre for German engineering. Ever since I bought the car in 2006 with maybe 25k on the clock the transmission fluid/oil has been replaced periodically over the years. An electric part in the transmission that apparently communicates with the car's computer to control gear shifting was replaced by a Mercedes specialist a few years ago. The car has fine pickup, drives well with no rattles and the like. It gets a legitimate 35 mpg (highway) but you have to take quite a long trip going through a couple tankfuls of diesel fuel to get a reasonably accurate measurement. This is a car for the MB diesel enthusiast.
