This 2000 Mercedes-Benz E320 was leased new through Mercedes-Benz of Escondido, CA in December 1999 and subsequently purchased out of lease by the same owner in September of 2001. It remained with the original owner in Southern California until February 2021 when it was acquired by the current seller. Finished in Designo Silver Metallic (029) over Designo Dark Green and Anthracite Nappa leather, the car is powered by a 3.2-liter M112 V6 paired to a five-speed automatic transmission. This W210 currently shows 106,419 miles on the odometer and is offered with a factory VMI, manufacturer’s literature, two original keys, and a clean California title.
Finished in Designo Silver Metallic (029), the paint on this example shows nicely and is described to be in great condition. The seller notes a small ding in the drivers door as an imperfection. Features include an electric sunroof, fog lights, and rain sensing wipers. A note in the attached Carfax mentions light damage in 2016 resulting in two small dents in the passenger fender which have since been repaired using paintless dent repair (PDR). The seller has mentioned the glass is all original along with the headlights, taillights, and the antenna grommet (which often deteriorates and fails).
While this E320 would have been retailed with 16x7.5 OEM wheels, this one has been upgraded by the original owner with five-spoke OEM E430 Sport wheels. The added wheels measure 17x7.5 on all four corners and are wrapped in new Goodyear Eagle Sport tires measuring 235/45 all around. Light curb rash can be seen on a few of the wheels and the painted center caps are reportedly in excellent condition.
The Designo package for this E320 was an additional $5,900 on top of MSRP and exclusively offered the Dark Green Nappa leather, matching floor mats, curly maple wood, and could only be paired with the Designo Silver Metallic paintwork.
The digital odometer shows 106,419 original miles. Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and a digital odometer with trip function. Additional gauges include fuel level, coolant temperature and a digital clock. The screens show no signs of failing LCD pixels and functions properly.
The 3.2-liter M112 V6 was rated at 221 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque when new and is paired with a 722.6 automatic five-speed transmission. A factory VMI report included with the sale shows all services since 2009 including the original build sheet from Mercedes-Benz.
This W210 is offered with factory literature, an original tool kit, two remote key fobs, complete service records since 2009, and a clean California title from the seller.

I remember how nice this Nappa hide felt when new, amazing how soft the leather in this example still appears. These seats as multi contours are FANTASTIC.

@mbzfan Hi, thanks! The wheels are not original to the car, they are E430 Sport Wheels and were upgraded from the originals when new by Mercedes-Benz of Escondido, CA. The headlights are a polycarbonite plastic and are still in great condition.

Very attractive car. Love the wheel treatment...are these wheels original to this car? Are these glass headlights?
Glad it ended up on here, I had the same intentions if I had it. This is one of those cars that pop up very rarely. Me as an avid Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, never knew this interior option was available in that platform until I saw it, good luck with it!

I saw this same color combination on an E55 at the MB dealers. Hard to describe the paint except to say it was striking. Very nice
Absolutely love the green interior! Perfect compliment to the designo paint.

This is a first for me. Incredibly rare I would think. GLWA
