I've enjoyed owning my '99 E300TD since new.
Welcome to the W210 with turbodiesel power. Be careful with the throttle, versus the granny MB diesels you've owned. This one has some serious speed and quickness! |

Im shopping for one. Looked at that one on the web. How much did you pay for it ? How much were they asking ?

Hey that looks like my W210... but mine has ash interior. Welcome to the club. Parrot is right about the bubbles. I'm currently procrastinating on LCA bushings, a full suspension rebuild, brake rebuild, coolant flush, motot mounts and whatever else I need to do. Read the "common issues" posts here to know what to watch for. They are wonderfully handling cars with the power rack & pinion and rear multi-link, plus when you develop a good anticipatory foot, you will be able to make the turbo spool a little less sluggishly.

For acceleration, I've adopted the "2 step" method. First, half way down then floor it when boost comes online about a second later.
If you try to floor it immediately from idle, it'll "bog" and take an eternity to get going.

BTW, mine's identical to the OP's W210 in color combo. I don't know about options...... |

What were the miles when purchased? And, did the dealer warranty it in any way?
