Recent services include a complete check up, a new battery, and tire rotation. This S210 shows 79k miles and is offered with factory literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Louisiana title.

I’ve been made aware of the SRS light on in the video. I can have that addressed at Mercedes Benz of Lafayette Louisiana for the winning bidder.$10,000 bid placed by @SuzanneO
@dino24 it is in Opelousas LA@ByrdDog I did notice this. I do not drive the car much. Seems to stay on. I have not had that addressed.@Flarson In the video the SRS light is illuminated. Does it go out or is it always on? If the later, any insight as to the issue? Thanks@Flarson Thanks for the video!$8,750 bid placed by @UsRLs
A start-up video has been added to the listing above.@Autocrat I asked back on Feb 22. It's tough to be a bidder on the opposite coast without videos. I'm sure this is a nice car, but don't think I can stay in the bidding with vids.$8,500 bid placed by @Braunton
@GregF That might be tough to pull off with 4 hours until the auction closes...How about a startup, running and short driving video?@Gardy121 Listing says the car is located in Opelousas, Louisiana (according to quick facts section at the top)@GregF I've had both 4matic and rwd w210s and there's really not much of a difference in everyday driving. It is convenient to have the 4matic for inclement weather though. There were more than a few times where I lost traction without the 4matic so I probably wouldn't switch back to rwd especially since I've got other drivers in the family.$8,250 bid placed by @UKCHAP
Can anybody speak to the driving differences between a 4matic and regular 2wd? Other than the obvious all wheel drive of the 4matic, what are the pros and cons of each? Thank you all.$8,000 bid placed by @Dolomiti

Where is the car located? I can’t tell from the description if it is NC or Louisiana.As a long time owner of a 210 wagon, I can add that these cars have absolutely no weak points in terms of performance. Ample torque throughout the power band. Still repectable 0-60 times even for a 20 years old car. As a 210 E55 owner as well, I would suppose that the wagon handles better than its sedan counterpart. It just feels more planted in curves and I can routinely push into a tight turn at 70 mph without any wiggle. When the suspension is up to snuff, ride is fantastic. Rosd noise with quality tires is virtually non existent. I often ride with the radio off as a result 210 interior fit and finish is not lacking ib the slightest. After putting 60K+ miles (now at 120K+) and taking multiple 1500 round trip, non-fatiguing roaf trips, I can attest that this car has never left me stranded and is a fantasric daily driver. Keep up with basic proactive service, and there is very little to keep one from getting in and driving reliably every single day.$6,000 bid placed by @Spintron
@Flarson Great looking wagon. Are the service records for the previous owners included?Thanks@Dolomiti A/C works fine and blows cold. Heater and heated seats both generate heat as they should. All windows and sunroof operational. Everything you need to create your perfect cabin climate in fine working condition.Also wondering about the AC... any clarification$5,750 bid placed by @GregF
Underbody photos have been added to the gallery.@gregf photos of underside to be posted here.@eli42 Thanks!@gregf I’m told the vehicle lived at the original owners Southampton home and was used only in summer. It was garaged winters at that home. The car runs and drives beautifully. A/C and heat operate perfectly. The diagnostic I conducted came out clean. Indication was rear brakes needed changing so I did that. Recent oil change as well. I added a tow hitch because I was going to use this car to tow my little Boston Whaler around, however I’ll be moving out of the country come August so everything must go!😭Can't find these anymore with under 100k miles! Love the color too. GLWA!Will seller @Flarson be posting any cold start, running and driving videos of the car? I realize it may seem silly to note, but nowhere in the auction writeup does it say that the car actually runs and drives. Does it run and drive properly? Are there any issues with the car that need to be addressed? Has the issue with the AC system been addressed? It appears from the multiple AC recharges/services in a short timeframe that maybe it has a leak or other? Please clarify as I do not want to make any assumptions. For those of us on the west coast, an east coast car usually means a pretty crusty chassis. Can we get pics of the underside to assess the condition? The driver's seat looks to be pretty dry and just starting to show cracking. Have you done anything to treat the leather? As I am on the west coast I need to rely on the pics and videos to determine appropriate bidding. Thank you.$5,500 bid placed by @Braunton
