Description
Beautifully kept 2003 Mercedes-Benz E240 Classic in white — smooth, quiet, and incredibly comfortable to drive.
A proper old-school Merc with a solid V6 and timeless shape. Drives beautifully on long trips — stable, quiet, and effortless. Only selling due to medical reasons as I can no longer drive her.
Serviced every 10,000 km, with an oil system flush at every service, so she’s never needed oil or fluid top-ups between visits. Starts first turn, no leaks, no nonsense — just a good, clean car that’s been properly cared for.
Highlights
Factory Mercedes tint (won’t bubble like aftermarket jobs)
Original sound system — kept the classic Mercedes look
Original Nokia 7210 phone cradle still fitted
5-speed auto shifts smooth
Dual-zone climate control & cruise control
Full-size spare tyre
~700 km per tank (60 L) when driven easy and on '98 fuel
Rego paid until December 2025
Recent Maintenance
Serviced every 10,000 km
Oil system flush done each time as part of full service
Rocker cover gasket replaced – 266,442 km
Front & rear brakes replaced – 14 May 2025
All fluids and filters current
Condition
For a 22-year-old car, she’s in great shape.
Bit of wear on the driver’s seat and a small dent from a car park kiss (shown in photos) from when I've came out from shops to find someone parked right up against her. Paint and body present well; interior clean, A/C ice cold.
Value
Typical market range for this model sits between $9,600–$13,000 (CarsGuide), with private seller estimates around $6,500–$8,800 (Carsales).
I’ve listed at $8,400 for a quick and fair sale — solid value for a registered, well-maintained car with a strong service record.
Summary
Perfect for a first-time driver, daily commuter, or anyone who loves that classic Mercedes comfort and reliability. Still gets looks — even caught a few waves during Bay to Birdwood! When I wasn't even in it
Selling with a heavy heart — she’s been loved and deserves another good home.
