This one-owner 2005 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATIC was first titled in February 2005 to the original owner when new. The selling dealer acquired the car in July 2022 with 48k original miles on the odometer. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over Black MB-Tex (111), this W203 is powered by a 2.6-liter M112 V6 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission powering all four wheels via 4MATIC. Features include dual-zone climate control, automatic headlamps, a power rear sunshade, multi-function steering wheel, and heated front seats. This C240 4MATIC is offered by the selling dealer with factory literature, current Georgia emissions, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title.
The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) with paint matched bumpers and impact strips featuring chrome accents. The seller reports the paintwork to be original and the body to be rust-free. Exterior features include halogen headlamps with bumper integrated fog lamps, a power sunroof, and auto-dimming power mirrors. No damage is shown on the included Carfax.
Factory 16″ wheels are shown with OEM silver-painted center caps featuring chrome star centers. Ohtsu tires are shown and measure 205/55 on all four corners with 2017 date codes displayed.
The cabin is trimmed in Black MB-Tex (111) with color-matched carpets, dashboard, steering wheel, and shift boot. OEM floor mats are seen in place and the rear seats retain folding rear headrests. The door trim and center console are trimmed in Burl Wood. Factory features include a power-operated sunroof, central locking, power windows, manually adjustable heated front seats, power rear sunshade, and dual zone climate control. The factory head unit has been retained and features a built-in CD player.
The leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel frames instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer shows 48k miles, all of which were added by the original owner.
The M112 2.6-liter V6 is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. Output was rated at 168 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque when new. The included Carfax report shows 25 service history records. Upon acquiring the C240 the selling dealer performed a pre-purchase inspection, transmission service, and A/C service.
The Carfax report lists no accidents or prior damage along with linear mileage updates. Now with 48k miles, this C240 is offered by the selling dealer with factory literature, current Georgia emissions, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title.
The W203 C-Class was a game changer in the early 2000's. Styled as a mini-S-Class, it offered the same curves and style as its bigger brother. There’s a lot to like going into this one, including the clean history and single-owner history. Moreover, this example shows the classic combination of Brilliant Silver over Black for a timeless look and offers options like heated seats and a rear power sunshade. With only 48k miles, this Mercedes will arguably be a better long-term solution compared to the more mundane eco-sedans offered today. Hopefully the new owner will enjoy many thousands of German-engineered miles.

Bummer, I got distracted by a work call and missed the opportunity. Congrats to the winner, looks like a nice win.
@wc1226. Congrats on the win! Beautiful Baby Benz at a very nice price!
We've communicated with the MB Market and asked them to remove our Reserve. In other words, this extremely low-mileage C240's new owner will be determined in just a few minutes. Good luck and thanks to the Bidders! David and Jeff

As we approach the final 45 minutes, please allow us to offer 4 comments: 1) We routinely handle transportation arrangements around the 48 contiguous United States. The Buyer will need to pay for the transportation, of course, but arranging the logistics is a very familiar task to us. 2) If you choose to pick up the car in person, however, we’re happily available 7 days/week to accommodate your travel plans. If you choose to drive your beautiful Mercedes C240 home, we'll definitely provide a Georgia-issued 45-day temporary tag. 3) We are indeed very long-term licensed Georgia dealers. Therefore, if you’re a Georgia resident, we must abide by GA law and collect the required 6.6% title tax (TAVT). If you’re a non-Georgia resident, however, we’ll collect precisely $0.00 above your winning bid (i.e., no surprise fees). Please keep in mind that any non-Georgia resident will be 100% responsible to register the car himself in his home state; almost certainly, he’ll need to pay sales tax and misc registration fees. 4) If you're new to this auction site, there's no need to "sneak in" a last-second bid. To quote this website, "once a bid is placed within the last 2 minutes of an auction, the timer will be automatically reset to 2 minutes to allow for other last minute bids." Best of luck to the Bidders.....and many thanks for all the participation! David & Jeff

@Raredan We're happy to hear that you enjoyed a pleasant experience meeting David. He was especially impressed with the beautiful condition of your older Mercedes E430; hence, your "very nice" review of our C240's cosmetic condition comes from a gentleman who appreciates the aesthetic details on older cars. To clearly show the front door handles' scratches to the MB Market Community, we've happily added pictures #109 & 110. Regarding any perceived "slight vibration....at stand still," please allow us to share our expenses preparing this C240 for the MB Market. When we initially received the car, we paid for a comprehensive inspection at our local mechanic's facility. He's worked on Mercedes and BMW vehicles for decades, and he gave this C240 an excellent review. At his recommendation, we spent over $1,600 to service the air conditioning system, perform an automatic transmission service, replace 3 differential and axle seals, and successfully perform a Georgia Emissions Test. Had our extremely competent mechanic found any issue with a mount, we would definitely have performed the repair. Best of luck tomorrow to the bidders! All interested bidders are encouraged to call us on our personal cells with any questions. Thanks again, Princeton Motorcars LLC (just outside Atlanta) David Cook (770-548-6399) Jeff Little (678-557-6982)
Detailed photos of the interior front door handles have been added to the gallery.
I had the pleasant experience of meeting the seller David and to inspect and drive this baby Benz. The car is in very nice cosmetic condition and I would say presents largely as advertised. Two things I would add to the seller’s description. 1) There are ring scratches on both the drivers and passenger’s interior door handles. 2) There is a slight vibration in the front of the car at stand still when the car is in gear. I’m not a mechanic, but maybe a sign of wear in the engine or transmission mounts? GLWTA!

Good evening to all the bidders and watchers. We’re just 2 middle-aged, friendly guys who’ve both been employed in the Atlanta automotive arena for 30+ years. Having worked extremely hard to maintain our 100% spotless 5-star ratings on both Google and eBay, we’d encourage you to scrutinize our reviews to help bolster your long-distance peace of mind. If you’re the fortunate new owner of this beautiful 2005 C240 4MATIC with only 48k one-owner miles, we’re always available on our cells (7 days per week, including holidays) to assist with shipping arrangements and to answer your questions. @Joe10708 Thank you for your bid! Please rest assured that both of us are very detail-oriented. We would never state that a car is a "One Owner" unless we believe it to be accurate. You're indeed correct in noting that CarFax describes this Mercedes as a 2-owner; we're confident, however, that the CarFax computer merely misinterpreted Georgia's issuance of the title dated 08/09/2021. Having personally spoken with her family, we know that this C240's long-term owner moved from New Jersey to Georgia in 2021 to live with her daughter. The Georgia title she received (now in our possession) states that the car's purchase date was "02/25/2005" with 15 miles on the odometer. All interested watchers & bidders are always welcomed to call us 7 days/week with any questions. Thanks! Princeton Motorcars LLC (just outside Atlanta) David Cook (770-548-6399) Jeff Little (678-557-6982)

Car Fax States it’s a 2-owner. But very clean car.

Just here for all the so fresh and so clean comments. Really though, how is this such a time capsule?

@princetonMC thanks!
@mercedesmike Thanks for the early bid! @tcstraker The 2 tires with visible date codes are shown in pics 63 & 65. Because the last 4 digits of both tires' DOT codes read "2917," we know that these 2 tires were produced during the 29th week of 2017. Although the other 2 tires (see pics 62 & 64) are currently mounted with inward-facing DOT codes, all 4 tires exhibit similar wear. All interested watchers & bidders are encouraged to call either of us 7 days/week (including Labor Day) with any questions. Princeton Motorcars LLC David Cook (770-548-6399) Jeff Little (678-557-6982)
Hi, could you tell me the date codes on tires? can't seem to decipher. thanks.
