2010 E class

It reminds me a little bit of a Cadillac CTS: 2010 E class

No way....the CTS is horrid looking. This at least has some style to it.


Jeremy Clarkson made this comment about the CTS: "The designer was only allowed to use, a ruler."

I'd take the CTS over this car, style wise. It has a nicer interior too. Sad but true.

I think there was a topic on this already. I said that the current E class is the best looking E-class in a long time and one of the nicest looking sedans on the road today.

Q: hi, first of all the both of you are looking great !! i am from the netherlands and i would like to know if you are able to bring the car with you while you are on your way to Amsterdam for your study ? or could you give me a shipping quote to our port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands ? do you have a port close by to ship this car ? finally good luck in Amsterdam because i'm sure you will love it . sincerely ; peter Jan-17-09

A: Your funny. I have sent a car to the Neatherlands before. The local port is in Long beach about 1 hour south from me. Shipping is up to you but you can find shipping quotes online simply by typing "shipping to amsterdam" on google. Let me know if I can help you out with anything else. Thank you again and happy bidding!

Q: DOES THE AC WORK? HAS IT BEEN CONVERTED TO 134? Jan-16-09

A: AC works fine, my mechanic says it's R-12. He says last time he charges it he used an adapter he has to charge it. Thank you for your question.

Q: Wow. Just wow. She is amazing. She could start a hugely successful business simply modeling in front of a sellers' stuff on eBay for $100 an item. Wow. By the way, this gorgeous woman is currently featured on the 'Girls of Ebay' site: http://goe.scrimper.net/cgi-bin/home.cgi (I am APPALLED that anyone would vote 'not' on the 'hot or not' survey, it must have been jealous hags or something!) Jan-16-09 A: =) Q: Does the AC work? Jan-15-09

A: Yes

Q: I see the check air suspension light is on- do you know what the problem with it is? Are there any other issues with the vehicle that you have not disclosed? Thanks, Michael Jan-15-09

A: My mechanic is checking that out. He told me to tell you guys that its not loosing any air. I try to describe the car to the best of my abilities using text, pictures, and video. Thank you for your question. Please let me kniow if I can help you with anything else.

Q: is the a c cold? do you have the center caps for the wheels? thanks Jan-15-09

A: Ac works fine, what you see is what you get.

Q: Hi, I watched the video and noticed the speedometer doesn't seem to register any speed while driving. Is it working? If so why does it show "0" in the video? Jan-14-09

A: It worked but somehow it stopped working the day I took the video. I talked to my mechanic, he said maybe a wire is loose. I'll take it in tomorrow. Thank you for having a good eye.

Q: it's the girl included in the auction? j/k/ hey if i was to win the car can i pick up the car in person? and pay u in person? cash! Jan-12-09

A: =) Absolutely!

Q: Yes Miss, I have one question so far. If I were to bid, would you add another photo on your auction for me? I find you irrestible!!! Nice car too. Would make a fine road car!! Jan-12-09

A: Absolutely!

Q: To hell with the car how much for the girl? Jan-11-09 A:

A whole lot more than the car =)

I like it!

Maybe it got some of it's sleekness from the CLS?

My understanding is that quality has been returning to Daimler since the late 1990's? Anybody comment on that?

Maybe in 7-8 years when the price drops into my "buy range" I will own one. In a diesel. If they make it.

I don't much like what I see. Though I'd have to see one in person to be sure. Hate the interior.

It's not as bad as the first time I saw it (in the other thread a few months ago). I think I might get used to it in about a year. At this point though, I think both the W211 and W210 look better.

I've been driving an 07 E550 sedan off and on for the past couple of weeks that was beat on that a friend is trying to unload, as it was a 'company' car a fired employee drove. I find that it is an abject POS. I like the way it looks, but it lags on acceleration as much as my chipped E300 Turbodiesel, reeks of smoke, even though it has the cabin filter and rattles like a chevvy on the inside with niggling interior issues. Not impressed.
