Thanks to everyone for your comments and especially appreciation of the W210 V8!
@zachmacYes, I'm located west of the city (airport is in Boston Harbour). If traffic is light the trip is generally 25-35 minutes.
@zachmac I just came back from my office to sit in the driver’s seat for a few minutes, a heavy nostalgia trip at the moment.
I’ve uploaded some pages from my MY98 E-class marketing brochure. Good photography, specifications and features.
@VIGILInteresting comment about facelifts. Back then I was not a fan of the facelift’s exterior styling changes, the relaxed+rounded front grille and hood detail, the changed rear taillight/back-up lens. I didn’t know about the leather. To add some info about my car, over time I periodically cleaned & treated the leather with leather conditioner, it’s still in excellent condition. In 2022 I reconditioned/polished the headlamp & high-beam lenses with Meguiar’s kit (see photos). At the time I also clayed & waxed the exterior. Very few miles driven since, only in good weather. L&R side mirror glass have been replaced (original glass faded).
@ IrishLad Sure, the car may be stored here. It’s always garaged & connected to a CTEK battery tender.
Hello to All. Thank you for taking a look at my W210 E430. A lovely car that has been a part of my family’s journey. Smooth power and ride combined. Reliable. High standard of engineering and build. As the saying goes, they don’t make ‘em like they used to. Let me know if any questions, I’ll respond as quickly as possible. Thank you.
Hi Axle, I haven’t changed the transmission oil. I just checked the MB Service Booklet for guidance. I don’t see mention of this. That aside, your question does make me think it prudent to do so.
