UCR: 2000 Mercedes-Benz E200 W210 - LAST of The Great "Built Like a TANK" Benzes! | EvoMalaysia.com

SO THE HUNT for a W210 took an interesting turn the other day! Lo and behold one of the nicest units of the E200 (non-Kompressor) that I've ever come across. And do note the registration number too; is this fated? :P
I've been quite keen on the W210 for some time now, as mentioned in a previous video, it wasn't always that way, in fact when they first appeared on the scene two decades ago, I wasn't a fan at all. Many were with me on this, coming to terms with that "big eye, small eye" headlight configuration wasn't easy, and many thought that MB AG had lost their minds.
However, fast-forward 20yrs later and I gotta say its unique styling has really grown on me. There's just something about the slab-sidedness of this car that makes it look so robust and appealing in this day and age, and while styling is indeed subjective, imho, this car has aged very well.
As at the time of uploading this video, it remains unsold, but I reckon it won't be that way for long. The great thing is that despite being just a naturally-aspirated 2.0L, 4pot, it doesn't feel at all underpowered, and is actually quite quick given its size. Another added benefit, cheaper annual road tax :)

absolutely agreed on that feeling when you see the 3-pointed star on the hood while driving.. nothing beats that.. sad that they don't do that anymore

Right?! There's just something about that, it's an inexplicably wonderful feeling 🙏🏽👍🏾😊

I remember my dad bought this exact model and same color brand spanking new from C&C. Full of memories. Did 250k km in 5 years of ownership. Fun fact, there is a cassette player hidden behind the radio display. I think bottom right button opens it. The screen will flip down. Also remember the salesman saying something about the whole sound system runs on fibre optic wiring. Solid car. Almost never see a crashed one where it's crumpled beyond the firewall.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Nice! We have the E320 here too, but since we pay an annual road tax according to the size (c.c.) of the engine, it's not very popular in the used car market. Would love to have one though 😁👍🏾🙏🏽

I own a w210 1998 model. Only maintenance and some minor issues over the years. I am sure it can run another 25 years with proper care. 90s mercedes for me. Even if something happens to my car I am still buying a 90s mercedes AGAIN

[@dcpete5475]

We had a 1997 200E Elegance dark metallic green 5 speed automatic with a cloth interior. W210 Great car but not fast. We sold it with 106000 km and was in a nicer shape than the one showed here. In 2003 we bought a irridium silver W211 200E Elegance automatic with compressor 163 hp I sold it in 2006 with 50000km because my father passed away. Both cars were bought new.

I remember hating the big eye small eye as well last time, in the early 2000s but after a W211 came into the house, now i stare at the W210/W211 on the road with a smile. Somehow the design is just timeless and these cars live up to their heritage of being solid/safe cars.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Wholeheartedly agree with u bro, just like the beemer E60 that was met with very mixed reviews when it first appeared, it now looks so contemporary despite its age. This W210 has aged really well 😊👍🏾

[@qifersalle]

What a Beautiful W210 Chris, pretty Mint! I think its typically normal for a Merc to run above the 80 degrees mark. It should be operating 80 - 90 degrees on the temperature gauge. Usually Once the engine is fully warmed up it should sit 90 degrees on the temp Gauge. If the Temperature is unstable then it could possibly be a faulty Thermostat. Anyway Awesome Video Chris, Enjoyed it as always !

I have a W210 E200 Kompressor 2002 C&C model too. Hoping to take it to Ken one day. Hopefully will bump into you there.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Nice! You probably will since my office is there now 😁

[@AzzamLah]

My family has a similar model; W210 E200 non-Kompressor facelifted Avantgarde, but it was a 2002 recond unit from the UK, so it has more buttons on the dashboard (heated front seats, etc.) and fully leather wrapping on the steering wheel. I totally agree about it being like a tank. The smell of the leather seats is still there, all parts are still working like a champ, smooth pick up from standstill, and comfortable handling even on bad roads. I drove it from time to time before replacing my 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8 XG-L with the new Almera Turbo last November. Driving it feels so premium, and maintenance cost is not that bad.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Nice!! Thanks for sharing that ownership experience, much appreciated!! Yep these are still wonderful cars to own and drive 😊🙏🏽👍🏾

[@hdbsg3.5]

Ngl the wiper blades movement design is one of the smartest if not the smartest design of all time. Love it! And yes you are not weird ..I like to see the "star" on the bonnet too everytime I drive an old Merc.. it's just so satisfying :D

I never a fan of Merc. I some how love the even older Merc looks though. Don't know why, but I like the two spoke, with the D shaped stainless steel steering wheel design. Those huge classic vintage Mercs. But I do like the big small eyes than the peanut eye.

You mentioned that door locks and unlocks.. This could be due to door light switch at the door panel not having proper contact when the door is closed.

A quick fix is to adjust your door locking mechanism or simply using some tape at the door panel so the switch goes all the way in. I hope this solves your problem.

Your damn right about the tank claim. My neighbor has a 210 E200, and it has been abandoned for as long as I can remember. And one day he just decided to start it back up and drive it

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Boom, there ya go!! Try that with newer cars, I reckon it's impossible these days 😊🙏🏽👍🏾

Very clean interior..how come the leather seat survived this long..

E39 or W210? Which one your choice

[@HotRod16]

I heard from Bobby video mentioned you bought a 124...so when see this video I was like aikk??!. Anyway this is one pretty 20 yrs old lady. I was told by MB parts people that W210 should be careful when do engine cleaning, cannot simply spray water because of harness wire.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Actually any engine, not just this one, u should NEVER jet wash it, there's a reason why cars have bonnets, hahaha!!😉

[@HotRod16]

@@ChrisWeevilGarage ya jet wash is harsh and of coz applies for all. But most W124 engine can be spray with water tho. Less electronics.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@HotRod16 nah, best to keep water out of there as much as possible. Of course engines are water resistant to an extent, otherwise there wouldn't be any front grille, but intentionally wetting them is never a good idea.

[@HotRod16]

@@ChrisWeevilGarage yes agree. Best is simple air gun purging and simple damp cloth to wipe the engine and let dry.

What engine to get if i choose to buy a w210? Balance between power and reliablity and roadtax cost😬

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Possibly this E200, it's not underpowered at all, and 2.0L annual road tax is painless 😉

How bad is e200 kompressor?

@@razinma485 nothing bad about it at all, except that I've heard some ppl had issues with the Komp. As I've never owned one, it's just hearsay, so don't let that stop u!!🙏🏽👍🏾😀

[@andyyow3706]

How does this compare to an E39?

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Different. The driving dynamics are different, this is a gentleman's cruiser, the E39 is slightly sportier in terms of handling and the noise its engine makes 😊

[@luthoezra7320]

best car ever!! very comfortable to ride
