Price Guide: $8,000 - $14,000
1998 Mercedes-Benz E240 Elegance, W210 four-door sedan, 2.4-litre M112 V6 petrol, five-speed automatic, rear-wheel drive, 64,717km, 5 seats. Vendor advises jump start required.
Description
The W210 E-Class arrived in 1995 and immediately established a new standard for the executive segment. The distinctive oval headlight design, the wide oval tail lights, and the quality of the cabin architecture made it genuinely special in the late-1990s market. The Elegance specification brought chrome window surrounds, burl walnut trim throughout the cabin, and the five-spoke alloy wheels that suit the car's proportions well. This E240 pairs a smooth 2.4-litre naturally aspirated V6 with a five-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, delivering the kind of unhurried, refined performance the E-Class was always built around.
At 64,717 kilometres this example has averaged roughly 2,500 kilometres per year, which goes some way to explaining the presentation. The silver paint is clean across all panels with strong gloss retention and even panel gaps throughout. The body is straight with no dents or visible accident damage. The original five-spoke Elegance alloy wheels are present and correct, showing some lacquer oxidation consistent with age. Inside, the Elegance cabin is remarkably well-preserved. The burl walnut trim retains its character with light surface wear. The original Mercedes cassette/CD head unit is in place, unmodified. Sheepskin seat covers are fitted throughout, which means the original upholstery condition beneath them cannot be confirmed from photos. The door cards are in good order and the headliner is intact. The instrument cluster confirms the 64,717km reading with a clear, functioning amber display, and the W210's notorious pixel failure does not appear to be present. The engine bay shows the M112 V6 in honest, undetailed condition with no obvious leaks.
Genuine low-kilometre W210 E240 Elegance examples with clean bodywork are increasingly hard to find. Comparable examples in the Australian market asking $10,000 to $16,000 are common on carsales, with the low-mileage examples at the upper end. At guide, this car represents solid value for a buyer who wants a refined, characterful executive sedan with genuine documented low use, and is prepared to confirm the seat condition on inspection.
