1.this car even can run RON 91 as min
2.Rear Wheel drive,Unless u get the 4matic..that will be 4WD.
3.Maintenance should be high as it is the conti car.
4.This model come with ckd and cbu(recond)..better take ckd that have good service history record..

Pls consider that come with ABR..SBC is mostly for old model and problematic after sometime..allocated your CGW,check fuel tank sleeve,fuel pump seal coz it tends to leak,prepare some $ for cam adjuster worn out and partial load leak that cause the engine to lights on especially car more than 100k mileage.

E240 with 112 engine,V6 SOHC engine,precise combustion with 2 sparkplugs for each camber(all 6 cylinders make 12 sparkplugs in total) more reliable engine..you might wanna try E230 or E280 with AMG package..the pulling,so damn stronger but this 272 engine well known with balancer shaft wear out and engine no power after sometimes due to intake variable shaft break off..

E280 with AMG sport package is the last batch of W211 and most of the major problem has been fix..
