Thanks. I bought it seeing its orginality & stock condition. Infact I was about to go for a W124 for my Dad. But when my friend & brocker brought this 190D & told me to use it for a day. Since I was looking for my Dad, I took him for a drive & when he drove it he liked it so much mainly because of its size & auto-transmision. He find it very convinient for his city drive & being the car so well kept I had the deal. It's fully orginal except the a/c vent which my friend has guaranteed me to get the orginal one. |

Ya buddy my W210 was diesel E250 D. It very comfortable as it had soft suspension. I bought it from Mumbai & drove down to Calicut within 21 hours (1200km) considering the poor road from Kharwar to Magalore (around 300km) & I felt very fresh & relaxed. But it was a bit sluggish on torque as it used the same diesel mill from W124 E250 D. I've also taken it somany times to Bangalore. I sold it when I started a new housing project of my own & since we don't depend on bank or bank loans I had to sell it. Do you use a W210? Ofcource my 190D is 2 liter, for 2.5 there will a labling on the right side of the boot lid as '2.5'. She is quite good in accelaration for the engine of that size. Compared to a friend's E 200D (W124) of same engine, 190D feel much better in the pick-up. |

I really admire your guts to go for these rare mercs. Cos unavailability of spares for imports gives me sleepless nights. i really cant imagine how you are able to maintain these three mercs. How do you source the parts if you need any? |

Yes Hanny I had w210 cdi check out my gallery. I am looking at E250D auto, drove a few and she seems adequate for Mumbai traffic :) She is faster than my current innova how long did you have the e250d? How was the highway overtaking accerlation? I think once she pics up she can keep pace as the ratios and pump setting in this 250 d is different than w124. In fact I timed it the 0 to 100 km she does it in 14 to 15 seconds that is 2 to 3 seconds faster than w124! I am now thinking of getting the w210 250d let me know if come by any in auto |

Fellow BHPians from Cochin; beware, you may come across a beige colour Merc R500 in Cochin. One of my very best friend spotted it & called me, but when I enquired about in root, its not a R-class, but its a Innova modded with orginal lights & other fittings. So please don't get fooled. Anyway try to snap so that we can have a look on how well he has modded it. I was said that he has also modded a swift into a Mini Cooper. |

Saw this car/van 2 days ago at Kaloor junc. I think the pics are already posted in this forum. Personally speaking, not worth comparing the mod job with a real Merc. Just my opinon. - Jose. |
