If you buy a second-hand old Mercedes-Benz, most people think that they can’t afford to repair it, are too expensive, etc., but if there is really a classic four-eyed Mercedes-Benz E-Class in the best car condition in front of you, the configuration is top-notch , But it only sells for 70 to 80 thousand yuan, you might not help but say: "It's so fragrant!"
1. Classic four-eye Mercedes-Benz E-Class
This time I found this classic four-eye Mercedes-Benz E-Class, although it was more than 10 years ago It’s an old car, but it’s classic in shape, in good condition and naturally aspirated by 3.5L6 cylinder. Now the owner of the car, Mr. Zhao, has to sell it because of the problem of the car’s license plate index.
This is the classic four-eye Mercedes-Benz E-Class I found, and the "Jianghu" is called W211. This car was licensed in May 2008. The 2007 E350 is a fashionable model of Beijing Benz that year. The manufacturer's guide price is 748,000 yuan. Its owner, Mr. Zhao (the previous owner), although young, is a fan of classic old cars, especially the classic four-eye round lights of this Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which has always fascinated Mr. Zhao.
Why do you say that Mr. Zhao, the owner of this Mercedes-Benz E-Class, is just the previous owner? Because this car is actually a used car bought by Mr. Zhao in 2018, not the first owner. Mr. Zhao has been thinking about buying a classic Mercedes he likes after he graduated and started working. He met this four-eyed Mercedes-Benz E-Class by chance and decided to buy it.
This four-eyed Mercedes-Benz E-Class belongs to Beijing Benz. At that time, there were also imported models, and even 5.0L V8 models. But buying a second-hand car does not mean that you can buy what you want, especially the fine-quality car models. It depends on fate. It can be seen from the vehicle nameplate that although this Mercedes-Benz E-Class was manufactured in 2007, it was licensed in 2008. It is also a National IV emission model. Mr. Zhao is quite satisfied, especially the 3.5L 6-cylinder naturally aspirated, which satisfies the large exhaust Self-absorption feelings.
When buying a car, Mr. Zhao suffered a lot of obstruction by his family and friends, mainly because everyone thought that buying such an old Mercedes-Benz would be too expensive to repair. However, Mr. Zhao feels that if you like a car, you have to accept its shortcomings. After all, he likes classic old Mercedes-Benz cars, and repair them if they break. And buy the car you like with the money you earn, and you don't need to listen to others' opinions.
shot this Mercedes-Benz E-Class because Mr. Zhao recently encountered a more stylish Jaguar S-Type, with a slender body coupled with a small leopard standing logo and four-eye round light design , Mr. Zhao appreciates it very much. It's not that Mr. Zhao doesn't like this Mercedes-Benz E-Class. If you have the conditions, he would definitely want to leave both of the "Four Eyes", but because of the car purchase index, he can only choose between the two.
Although Mr. Zhao was also worried about the cost of repair and maintenance when I started it, this Mercedes-Benz E-Class is still upbeat. In the more than 2 years of accompanying Mr. Zhao, there has been no major failure, so Zhao Mr. spends too much money on car repairs. In addition, Mr. Zhao always maintains on time and drives carefully. The overall condition of the car is still very good.
The most classic and typical symbol of this generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class must be the round lights with four eyes, although when the new car was launched, it looked trendy and fashionable. But now it is becoming more and more classic. It’s also worth mentioning that although the exterior cover has several painting locations, but there is no sheet metal repair, it proves that there is a high probability that no major collision accidents have occurred. For the Mercedes-Benz E-Class that was licensed in 2008, it is still a rare car condition. .
When Mr. Zhao started this Mercedes-Benz E-Class in 2018, he replaced all four tires. Now he has run less than 30,000 kilometers in two years and can still use another two. Three years. There is a slight scratch on the edge of the rim, but it is inevitable for this old Mercedes that is more than ten years old. Fortunately, it is not obvious and will not affect the dynamic balance of the wheels and normal driving.
Except for the front part, Mr. Zhao is the favoriteWhat I am happy about is to see the "body" of this Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Since the Mercedes-Benz E-Class was an unextended version at the time, this side of the body will make you look more slender and proportioned. The passenger space for the second row is incomparable with the extended version of the new generation, but for this, Mr. Zhao is completely acceptable.
How does it feel that a man likes a car? You may not drive every day, but as long as you think of owning it, it is a very happy thing. This is the case with Mr. Zhao, the owner of this Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Compared with the classic four-eye headlight front, the rear shape of this Mercedes-Benz E-Class looks more compact and low-key. Every time Mr. Zhao was about to go home after parking the car, he couldn't help but look back at his car a few times, as if he would never see enough.
If you look closely at the shape of the rear of the car, you will find that every detail is actually designed to be more exquisite, such as the streamline of the taillights and the curved surface of the trunk lid. The “E350” logo is affixed to the upper left of the rear of the car. You may see more “E200K” and “E280” on the road, but this 3.5L V6 model has the smoothness and smoothness of a large displacement self-priming model. Power reserve.
2. Classic luxury interior
In addition to the classic four-eye round lamp exterior design, Mr. Zhao also likes luxurious and contemporary interiors. Although it looks a little outdated now, you can still feel the interpretation of luxury and texture in that era.
When Mr. Zhao first received this four-eye Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the interior was not as neat as it is now. After that, Mr. Zhao often cleans the interior by himself and also maintains the interior leather, so the interior of this old car looks more classic and luxurious. In the original words of Mr. Zhao: The old car has to be carefully maintained and cleaned, and I am very happy.
During his years of holding this classic Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mr. Zhao actually didn’t use it for commuting, but more on weekends to meet with friends and talk about recent developments and cars. So far, this Mercedes-Benz E-Class has driven 180,000 kilometers. Of course, Mr. Zhao has already changed the oil and rubber sleeves that should be changed. Although it is an old car, everything is normal.
The central control screen and the car machine are of the original factory style, no changes have been made and cannot be changed. Although there are not many practical functions, for such a classic old car, it should look like an old car and cannot add too many "auto parts city" modifications such as Android phones and touch screens.
The mechanical gear handle is too severely worn. Compared with the current Mercedes-Benz gear design, the mechanical gear handle has a different controllability. This Mercedes-Benz E350 is equipped with a 7-speed automated manual gearbox. In daily driving, the shift speed and smoothness are good, with comfort and sports mode switching.
It is worth mentioning that this Mercedes-Benz E350 is also equipped with air suspension and suspension soft and hard adjustment. Mr. Zhao said that although the frequency of use is not high, it is better than nothing, and the comfort of air suspension It's really good, and of course I worry about spending money to repair it when it breaks.
For an old Mercedes-Benz with a distance of 180,000 kilometers, the seats are still well maintained without obvious wear and tear. Of course, the seat comfort of this Mercedes-Benz E-Class is very high. In addition to ergonomics, it also has seat memory and seat heating functions. Mr. Zhao said it is not lower than the current model configuration.
The rear space of this Mercedes-Benz E350 is the shortcoming of this Mercedes-Benz E350. Since it is not lengthened, the space is not a little bit smaller compared to the later extended version. However, Mr. Zhao does not have much demand for rear space, and the leather of the rear seats is maintained well.
Because it is a high-end model, the rear seats are also equipped with seat heating function, which can still be used normally.The back seat of Mr. Zhao’s Mercedes-Benz E-Class was originally reserved for his family. With this configuration, it can be used to plug their mouths when the car is old.
At the same time, the rear row is also equipped with dual-zone independent air-conditioning, even if it is put now, it is a very high-end and practical configuration. During the use of Mr. Zhao, there was no peculiar smell or noise.
For this 3.5L V6 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, what Mr. Zhao is most satisfied with is his driving experience. In his original words, he is calm and confident. After all, it is a large-displacement naturally aspirated model. On the road, watching the small-displacement turbocharged car next to it accelerates at a large throttle, I have sufficient power reserve at any time when I want to overtake. You don't need to be so radical every day, but you have to be calm.
In addition, because it is equipped with an air suspension, this Mercedes-Benz E-Class feels more stable and comfortable on the road. Although it is an old car with more than ten years of age, Mercedes-Benz's chassis is very solid, and there is no loose feeling when passing through bumpy roads. This is relatively rare for an old car.
Editor's comment: I believe that in addition to the owner Mr. Zhao, many people have their favorite old cars, and they all have old car feelings. Of course there will be someone who will tell you when you want to start: such an old car can be bought and repaired. But what does it have to do with others if you spend your own money on a car you like? Okay, that's all for this episode!
