The Appeal
The W211 was the third-generation E-Class, and quickly carved out a reputation for being a glamorous, ritzy executive car with performance on tap and comfort in droves. The long-distance cruising from these cars became particularly acclaimed, and they've quickly gained a reputation as a dyed-in-the-wool modern classic.
Practically any Mercedes-Benz car is improved by the Avantgarde Trim and an Estate body style. Effortless cool, practicality and plenty of comfort - it's a winner, and this one is absolutely no exception. Having been meticulously maintained with several thousand pounds invested on mechanical and maintenance work, it's in fine fettle throughout.
