This 2001 Mercedes-Benz E430 is one of very few Designo Espresso Editions featuring Designo Mocha Black (033) paint over Designo Light Brown Leather (X35). Now showing 86k miles from new, this W210 is powered by a 4.3-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes automatic climate control, power-adjustable and heated front seats, a power sunroof, rear roller blind, xenon headlights and more. Modifications include Kleemann headers, ECU tune, upgraded AMG brakes, H&R springs, Koni shocks, and 18" AMG monoblock wheels. This E430 is now offered with factory literature, two key fobs, partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title.
The exterior is finished inDesigno Mocha Black (033) and features include xenon headlight, fog lamps, an electric sunroof, and chrome trim around the belt line and grille. The seller notes a minor scratch on the rear bumper and a dent above the wheel on the front driver-side fender, both of which are pictured in the gallery. The paint is believed to be original and the seller notes no signs of corrosion on the body.
Staggered 18” AMG Monoblock wheels from a W210 E55 AMG have been installed featuring a painted face with a polished lip and wear Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 tires measuring 245/40 in the front and 275/35 in the rear with 2019 date codes. The seller notes the driver side rear wheel has some clear coat peeling on the lip. The suspension features H&R springs with damping adjustable Koni shocks, and upgraded AMG brakes from a C32 have been installed.
The cabin is finished in Designo Light Brown Leather (X35) adorning the front seats, rear seats, headrests, and door cards. Natural Elm wood trim accents the steering wheel, dashboard, center console, and door panels. Other amenities include heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, the Memory Package, rain-sensing windshield wipers, an alarm system, and a Kenwood head unit with Bluetooth capability. The factory Designo floormats still accompany the car and are pictured in the gallery.
Instrumentation set behind the leather and wood-wrapped steering wheel includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and engine temperature. The digital odometer shows just over 86k miles and some missing pixels can be seen in the digital clock.
The 4.3-liter M113 V8 was rated at 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque when new. Kleemann headers along with a stage 2 ECU tune were installed in 2020 bringing power to an estimated 300 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Additional modifications include C32 AMG brakes, H&R springs, and damping adjustable Koni shocks. The Carfax report lists documented service history at the dealer.
The August 2022 Carfax report lists no accidents or damage along with 36 service history records since new. Factory literature, two keys, tools, and partial service records are available with the car.

@mtbemail Nothing new coming up at the moment!
I'm already jealous of the next owner. What a machine!
Alex210 do you have any other E55 coming up for auction soon? Debating between a nicely modified e430 like this or an E55 W210.

Stunning color combination and the modifications are perfect. The wheels, headers, suspension, and brakes alone would not be cheap to add to any 210.

I'm usually not a fan of modifying cars but this is well done!
@Static50 @Static Yes, 50 Extremely Rare! I'm not sure where you get the statistics for the builds by model options and year. Anyone here knows how to get that info, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
