This 2001 Mercedes-Benz E430 sedan was reportedly purchased new in Orange County, CA and remained with the first owner until the seller acquired it in 2021. The car shows 43k miles and is finished in Glacier White (143) over a Anthracite (211) leather interior. Power is provided by a 4.3-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, a power sunroof, rear roller blind, automatic dimming mirrors and more. This E430 is now offered with factory literature, service records dating back to 2002, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Glacier White (143) and this Elegance Package equipped sedan features fog lamps, an electric sunroof, and brightwork accents. The seller notes paint scuffs on the bumpers that were touched up by the original owner, and a small chip in the driver’s side tail light lens as pictured in the gallery.
The 17” Avantgarde OEM alloy wheels feature a painted face with a polished lip and wear Michelin Pilot tires measuring 235/45/17 that were reportedly mounted in 2013. A spare tire is stored in the trunk and the car is factory equipped with electronic stability control.
The cabin is trimmed with Anthracite (211) leather and features wood accents on the center console, doors, and dash panel. Interior amenities include power-adjustable front seats with three memory settings, automatic climate control, an integrated garage door opener, rear roller-blind, and automatically dimming interior and exterior mirrors. The seller notes that the visor mounted vanity mirrors are missing their plastic door covers.
Instrumentation set behind the leather-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 43k miles, approximately 200 of which were added by the seller. The OEM audio system is original and functional.
The 4.3-liter M113 V8 was rated at 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque when new and sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. A Mobil-1 synthetic oil change was performed on 3/27/2021 in preparation for sale.
A summary of the vehicle service history and copies of original paper service records are viewable in the gallery. Factory literature, one key, tools, and photos of the service records are available with the car.
The April 2021 Carfax report attached shows no reported accidents or damage and two registered owners in Orange County, CA beginning August 2000. Videos below provide a walkaround, driving, and underbody presentation of the car.

Getting there...
Nice bidding action on this one - these E430s have been totally undervalued for too long...maybe not anymore? GLWA!

Any info on brakes and rotors? Thank you.
Less than an hour left! If you’re spectating, commenting or bidding, you’re well aware of how special this car is. One previous owner, excellent color combo, face-lift, low-miles, all service history, and original paint. It doesn’t get better than that. Enjoy 90% of an W210 E55 for a lot less money! Let me know if y’all have any final questions! Thanks, Billy.

@Motopt22 Hello! Non-xenon and it DOES have Bose acoustics.
This car does not have Bose correct? And no Xenon headlights?

@meyersman15 Yes, the head unit functions as it should and all speakers sound crisp.
@billydblair Just to confirm, the head unit works as it should, all speakers are still a clean sound?
@Spatzer These are the next best thing! There's a lot to like about this car...Owned a few and would absolutely recommend.
I really want a 55 but with the way prices are for them right now this might have to be the play.

This listing is giving me more W210 trivia facts than any forum over the last 20 years!
The last MB with orange needles on the cluster and window switches on the center console. There's so much value to be had in the analog era for which this was the last one imo

@Yosemeti I couldn’t agree more! In a world of 20’ wheels on Accords, it’s pleasant to see a proper size wheel with a beautiful design on a vintage Mercedes-Benz.
@hanker911 Agreed! weird and great to see this one. I may need to add this to the garage for a good daily!
Always liked these wheels. The prefacelift 420 came with a 16" version of the same wheel and they're just so much more attractive than the 320 style. Amazing what wheels can do to the look of a car.
Don't see many W210s in white. Great color for this chassis!

Loving the white over black color combination! Looks so clean

Hi All! I’m a longtime car enthusiast and I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this car locally last month. It’s a fantastic car, but unfortunately my Canadian-spec E34 540i needs MUCH more work (and money...) than I was expecting. Here’s a lucky opportunity to snag a near-new V8 W210! I’ll be monitoring comments closely! -Billy
