Original 17” wheels are shown wearing brand new Dunlop Sport 5000 tires measuring 225/45 at all four corners. The tires wear late 2023 date codes all around and were just purchased through Tire Tack to reparare the car for the auction. Stopping power is provided by new drilled and slotted disc brakes front and new pads/rotors rear complete with new brake fluid. The E430s got larger wheels to fit the bigger brakes the V8 cars got from the factory. ABS and BAS come as standard on the S210 along with functional Self-Leveling Suspension in the rear which allows heavy loads in the trunk without rearward sagging. The Avantgarde E430 wagons got lowered sport suspension from the factory. The seller repaired one front wheel from some light curb rash.
An underside inspection, walkaround, acceleration, and driving video is included by the seller:

As @Moto_Escape said the paint color is a really good match. I covered the color matching and paint work in the video linked above. I was impressed. Brilliant Silver is hard to get right but they nailed it on this car even down to the metallic flake. Anyways just wanted to show some good support for the seller and the car before it ends here in 10 minutes. Wish I had more room in the garage for something like this... but then I'd own 5 W/S210s. Just adore this platform and the M113.$11,000 bid placed by @Carbine123

Hey MB Market S210 followers, we are in the final ~30 minutes of this auction and this estate is ready to be enjoyed and driven. I have responded to a few DM's and ask away as we come down the stretch with any questions you might have!$8,500 bid placed by @mtnutt
My dad still owns an E430 which he bought back in 2005. By far the best vehicle he's ever owned. Only thing that could make it better would be a wagon body like this!$8,250 bid placed by @WalkingTheCourse
Appreciate the bids @MercedesE550 and @Athomas002! I am with the E430 all day today so if you have a question, please fire away today!$8,000 bid placed by @MercedesE550

@Moto_Escape Good luck today! I'm so happy we have one of these E430 wagons state side now and it was fun parking up next to you at Wagonfest over the weekend.

I'm assuming someone on this thread can tell me why there's no third row seat?$7,000 bid placed by @kmr9146
The rear accumulators do not have a date stamp on them or permanent marker dates so it is difficult to know their exact age. They don’t appear newly installed, however the car rides great. When these fail they the rear end gets rock hard and it is painfully obvious. The wagon rides great and I have driven over 500km in it over the last several weeks and it has a great feel. Check out the driving video which calls out ride quality. These should be replaced about every ten years or so and right now they do not need replacing yet.Any record of the rear hydraulic accumulators being replaced?$6,750 bid placed by @rsp1810
Thanks for the bid @liamk182!@mtnutt- the AC was serviced on 9/25/26 (check out picture #309 in gallery) and I have driven about 325km since then. It blows cold and no leaks or issues as the issue was it was blowing cool, just not cold. In Georgia it gets hot and the AC has been tested over the last three weeks! This is the second Canadian wagon that I have had to do an AC service on. Guessing AC in Canada is just not a priority, but down here in the sunny south, it is mandatory!$6,500 bid placed by @liamk182
I noticed the AC was refreshed for the sale. Can you elaborate on that? Was it not blowing cold before?$6,250 bid placed by @kmr9146
We are in the last day of our auction for this JDM E430 wagon. Please check out new photos that were added (pictures 334-337) from Wagon Fest and also a replacement Yanase badge that arrived after the initial photo shoot. If you look on photo #305 you will see it from the Car VX report (Japan's Carfax/Auction report which is included in the sale). Thank you for your bid @DevonT! If there are any questions about the wagon, please ask away.$6,000 bid placed by @DevonT
What a blast in Atlanta yesterday for WagonFest at MB USA Headquarters! Great to see so many long roof lovers and boy did the Mercedes estates come out in droves. Nice to meet a few bidders interested in my E430 as well. I have received several DM's on storage after the auction. We own Moto Escape (www.motoescapeatl.com) so yes we can store for the vehicle while you make flight arrangements or transportation. We have a trusted transport company that we have moved 50+ member cars with OR you can arrange your own. Another question asked about rust as the S210 have a reputation for rusting. The tops of doors are solid as well as door bottoms. Hatch is also super clean with no rust around the window molding or inside the body frame where water tends to accumulate. On the undercarriage, we took special care to take as many pictures as possible so you can see exactly what it looks like - all surface and nothing with pin holes or substantial. Check out the wheel well shots as well so you can see super clean Spring Perches and shock mounts. Remember this was an extremely high spec wagon for Japan and it is clear based on condition and miles that it was not left out and garaged as possibly a second or third car, especially since it was not 4 matic! The wagon will be with us today and tomorrow and please keep the questions coming as we are in the last 36 hours of this JDM auction. Many thanks to @280merc, @70jackalcantos, @Smithy77 for your bids!$5,000 bid placed by @280merc

Last minute reminder- WAGONFEST is tomorrow in Atlanta and this JDM V8 wagon will be there if you are attending and want to check it out. The good folks at MB Market will have a corral at the event and invited me to showcase the E430 there tomorrow. If you are Atlanta, come check it out!@280merc- the mirrors operate as normal, but yes they do not fold in. I am having the same problem with my ‘97 S210 as well. I have researched a replacement from eBay for $250 out of China and understand quality is fair to good. My research shows you can use the same housing so no painting expense. I will be trying this on my ‘97 as I have zero functionality. On this 2000 I didn’t go this route since the mirrors still operate , but just don’t fold.Have you investigated the folding mirror issue?$4,500 bid placed by @Smithy77
Many thanks for the interest in this estate. Appreciate the bids from @secretsauce, @280merc, @HJKH, @rsp1810. If you are in Atlanta for LUFT or WAGONFEST, please consider joining us for a fun kick off event tonight where this wagon will be available to check out. DM me if you are in town tonight and want to check it out in person!$2,750 bid placed by @280merc

Just wanted to put a good word in on the car and the seller. I was lucky enough to build the media for this auction and service it and I really like this car. I grew up with E430 Sports (both mom and dad had them) and they all touched a quarter million miles. These are tanks and this one felt particularly healthy. Not to mention it's super rare. It's a perfect daily.Beautiful example. S210 is somehow so much better than everything newer and you really need to live with one to understand that 1990's German simplicity is the new leader in luxury and automotive expression.$2,000 bid placed by @Secretsauce
Welcome to my E430 JDM auction! Excited to share this extremely well prepared S210 with the astute MB Marketplace buyers. A few questions to answer up front. Why sell? Well I purchased two S210’s from Canada and learned from the past that one wagon is enough. I have owned 4 MB wagons and 3 BMW wagons and I am just a longroof fan. I have decided to keep my ‘97 E420 for the long haul. Did I see this wagon before somewhere? Yes, you did a banned seller tried to list it on another auction site and it was taken down. Then the banned seller listed it with a third party on another site where I found it. Nothing with the car at all, but knowing the banned seller may have violated shadow bidding issues explained a lot to me. Where can I see this E430. It is safely stored at Moto Escape in Atlanta and I would welcome any local buyers or a proxy for an out of town buyer to see it. ALSO- it will be at WAGONFEST this Sunday in Atlanta at the MB USA HQ so come check it out in person! Ask away if you have any questions!
