My Ride: is not an American car.
rolled past 53K last month!



unfortunately it is not immune to the common rust spots for the earlier W210s, and suffered some scars in the past couple of years (neighborhood punks)

The car still looks good! You just need to fix the rust. What year is it?

I have a 1996 E320 myself back home that was handed down to me and it's starting to show its age tho. The mileage is still good, 31,XXX, dark blue on black.

Recent problems:

1. Minor oil leaking from the engine and I had someone to resealed it over.
2. Headlights's height adjuster feature stoppped working and still had no time to diagnose the problem as I
had to go back here that time.
3. Interior rattling on glove box and squeaking noise from driver's seatbelt.

Other than those, still running nicely, love the power considering E320 back home is just like any 500/600 in North America and some decent mods done to the car.

I might just take some pictures of the car when I go back home soon.

Poker. that's my favorite color! OMG. You never told me its in green.

Had glove box noise too, but i think re-torque the screws at the locking handler then its okay. Wait, i think the mounting plate inside the glove box came off, i need to buy the plate (2 screws included), to re-secure the glove-box opener handle.

yep we got that annoying plastic squeak as well.

the green is unique, I've seen only one other W210 in that color (it was an E420...)
