2008 MERCEDES E280 CDI Estate S211/W211 - Only 71k For Sale

I’ve found another Mercedes for sale that I would like to go after (I really should stop looking at Autotrader & eBay!). That said, if it doesn’t sell, I’m really not particularly fussed and am perfectly happy to keep the car as it is truly lovely with a lovely provenance. At just 71k, it’s still ridiculously low miles, hardly even run in even, considering what these cars are capable of.
It’s a September 2008 facelift car, (final incarnation of the W/ S211 chassis) originally purchased from Stratstone Mercedes of Glasgow. It was their demo for a few months before being purchased by its ‘first’ proper owner, who owned it until 2013, which he had it serviced every year by Mercedes Glasgow.

It was then purchased by its second owner, an elderly chap in Surrey who owned it until February 2017, as he bought a Range Rover Evoke (I think if truth be told, he wanted to keep the E-Class, but kept getting pestered by his wife to sell as she wanted the Evoke!). He used a local-to-him Mercedes specialist to keep it serviced, again annually, with any other bits required being sorted.

I started looking for a good, facelift S211 car when my wife sold her Ford Kuga. I also had a beautiful W215 CL500 that I also had as a weekend toy that wasn’t being used as it was slightly impractical, so whatever I got next, it had to be good to be in their place. I ideally wanted a nice E500 Estate as I do prefer petrol powered cars.
Well, after having done my homework, S211 E500’s are particularly rare & I couldn’t find one that I liked enough. So setting my expectations high, I started looking for a good diesel car and after genuinely searching for approx. 3 months & looking at a lot of tired, ‘used’ examples, I found this car.

I purchased it straight away with mileage just over 54k. I have since used the car for a few trips away with my family and just general everyday use. I had the car serviced & MOT’d in September last year at Mercedes Southend as I have a service care plan attached to it. Also, I had the gearbox oil changed while it was in just as a precaution. The A/ C also had a ragas & service too, so the climate control runs perfectly at all temperatures.

The car comes with a full service history, including its original build sheet and a large paperwork file. I had the car Terra-Cleaned last May which really made the car a lot smoother and more responsive to drive.
The standard 18” Sport alloys had been refinished in a tasteful anthracite finish by the previous owner. I liked them but always felt there was too much ‘black’ with the body, wheels & tyres. So I had the rim lips polished, which I think breaks up the black and ties in nicely with the other chrome parts around the car. I have recently fitted Continental Sport Contact 3 MO OEM tyres all round, as I won’t have unmatched, budget brands fitted. Obviously, all have plenty of tread left on them.

This car now represents unbelievable value for money as, when new, this was knocking on the door of approx. £45, 000.
Anyone who knows me, knows what I am like with my cars. I am a really a very fussy person when it comes to my cars and am very pedantic about keeping maintenance up to date and keeping it immaculate. That’s just the way I am, after having it drummed into me at a young age. Therefore, the car is only ever hand washed, every week or so by myself as time allows.
This car was purchased as a ‘keeper’ to give our growing little family faithful service, and as mentioned earlier, will still continue to do so if it doesn’t sell. Number plate IS NOT included in the sale. Its original ‘58’ plate has been refitted.

I understand there are a fair amount of these cars for sale on the web, at varying degrees of age, mileage, spec & condition. A couple of age related stone chips aside, I believe the attractive points of my car are its provenance, condition, way it drives & above all, its mileage.

Anyway, please do give me a call if you are genuinely in the market for one of these lovely cars, you will not be disappointed. My name is Chris and you can reach me on the details below or Chris_JohnstonGB@Yahoo. co. uk.
The car is located in Runwell, Essex.
Thanks for looking, and I look forward to speaking to you.
