The Appeal

 
The W204 is one of the last of Mercedes’ engineering-driven cars, models known for their reliability and quality. They make great modern classics, as well suited to weekend touring as to daily driving.

This C180 is one of the nicest of these cars we’ve seen in a while. It’s the sort of W204 that shows up now and then: low mileage, few owners, really well presented, and an outstanding service record. The silver metallic paint and durable black interior are all in good shape, with just a few tiny cosmetic points to note in the photos.

The reliable 155 hp 1.6L M271 4-cylinder gasoline engine has covered just 54,690 miles. The digital service record and Mercedes dealer invoices are all present in a binder of paperwork. The MOT runs through October 2027 with no advisories.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions. 
✓ We require a non-refundable fee to be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is, Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance, and it's customary to have the vehicle fully inspected before purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so we run all UK-registered cars and motorcycles listed for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft and have no outstanding finance, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an ad is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your reference. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, so it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle pickup 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalized, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
