My ‘99 was black on black with headlight wipers totaled by an elderly drunk man. My 2000 was the same color as yours including the two toned interior. That one was totaled by hurricane Sandy. The other gave to my daughters. I loved all of them. I’m rolling in an ML now but I know a classic when I see one. Looks well kept especially the interior. Good job! Well I better get off this fence before I fall - in love again, LOL! Hope your bidding goes well. If it doesn’t hit me up I’ll clear up the garage!June 2nd, 2023 at 6:31pm ESTGregoryB (1) Seller 0@Dbnzlvr Well, there are of course transport options available to you should you wish to have the car delivered to you. Either way, glad you like it!June 2nd, 2023 at 4:28pm ESTDbnzlvr (0) 0I wish this car was on the east coast. It would be in my garage!June 2nd, 2023 at 11:10am ESTGregoryB (1) Seller 0@Dec1184 Thank you! The car has lived in the area since we bought it at Rasmussen Wilsonville in 2000. You'll find no food or drink stains in the interior; we don't eat or drink in our cars. It has never seen an automated car wash; only hand washing and regular appearance car inside & out with Griot's Garage products. The blower motor referenced in the listing is for the climate control, not the supercharger. That was replaced a few years ago when the clutch began to fail on it. The parts cost for a clutch rebuild kit was a significant fraction of the cost of an entirely remanufactured supercharger with clutch and the labor cost was the same. I opted to replace the whole unit. Another item replaced within the last few years was a failing MAF sensor. And the A-arm bushings were also done recently for the second time in the car's life. Those are known to last about 50k-60k miles and that's just something to live with owning a W202.June 2nd, 2023 at 1:04am ESTDec1184 (0) 0Beautiful example! Being a local enthusiast in Portland, I have a fond appreciation for original PNW cars.

The winter tires on those rims have reached the end of their service life and need to be replaced. That said, the car handles snow with aplomb on proper winter tires and the transmission in Winter mode (see selector switch to the left of shift lever). Winter mode engages a taller reverse gear, starts the car in second gear in Drive, and softens throttle response to manage torque better. The rims could also be used for track tires if desired.June 1st, 2023 at 1:24am ESTClassicSL (0) 0The car looks very clean! Do the extra wheels pictured in the gallery also come with the car?May 30th, 2023 at 1:49pm ESTGregoryB (1) Seller 1We are reluctantly selling our beloved C230, but we recently took delivery of a new C300 and don't have garage space for a third car nor affordable options for offsite storage. This one has been garaged its whole life, and we can't bear to see it sitting in the driveway indefinitely exposed to the elements so we would prefer to see it find a new home where it will be loved just as much as we have loved it these last 23 years. The car has the TouchShift 5-speed automatic, which was fitted to the W202 only for the final year of production in 2000. As with all non-AMG cars in that era, it was delivered with conventional oil in the crankcase. This was flushed after the factory break-in period was complete and filled with full synthetic oil. It has had only full synthetic oil since then. The factory head unit has had a radio frequency adapter fitted to the back and tuned to one of the FM presets and has an Apple 30-pin cable in the center armest for an old-style iPod. A suitable connector cable would allow use of a newer one or another MP3 player. A discreet red switch in the center console provides power to the cable.
