hi, anyone have engine spec for w210 E230?

the 2nd hand price is affordable, 1997 e230 selling below RM 80k, rather go for luxury continental car than a compact vios or city.

lol all the main online searches came to engine displacements being bigger the 3000cc

It's affordable, but can you bear the maintenance and fuel consumption?
1997 is 10 years. And after 10 years, things start falling apart VERY FAST. Also note that in the past decade or so, MB quality has been viewed as... kinda dodgy.

Honestly, an old luxury car will cost so much more to maintain than a compact Japanese car. Better stick to the Vios or City, IMO.

it all depends on luck id say, wheter the previous owner(s) have taken care of the ride via maintainence and driving style.

other then that, id say go for it. it has that gangster look to it tongue.gif
