MERCEDES C220 CDI ELEGANCE SE 2004
Full Mercedes History Tiptronic Auto

We at Chapelhouse are pleased to offer this stunning Mercedes C220 for sale, a fantastic opportunity to buy this prestige car for a price that dealers just can not beat, an opportunity for you to grab a bargain, don't miss out.

Here at Chapelhouse we pride ourselves on cutting through the bulls*** that is the used car market, we keep our overheads low so that we can pass on those savings to you, we specialise in ex fleet cars with 100% provenance and do our best to furnish you with the information you need to make an informed decision.

When this car landed with us from the fleet company two things struck me immediately, first was the condition it is pristine, genuinely looked after and looking like a car with 20k miles on it. The second was what a bargain this car could be sat on your drive, a Merc' Elegance no less, bought without a lottery win. The reason of course is simple and the fortune falls in your favour, the mileage. A Mercedes diesel is a vehicle built to run forever literally, in fact Mercedes are so confident in their engineering that they now give free lifetime recovery on vehicles with full Merc' history, that's confidence. Whilst this car does not qualify for that it does have full Merc' history and should run and run. So if the mileage is not a negative issue then the affect it has on the price must be purely positive and it is. This car according to Cap, the trade bible, would retail at £11,495 with 60k miles on the clock, with this mileage £9995, the difficult part is finding one with mileage in this condition, by the way when you do own it you can large it all you like I promise I won't tell anyone the mileage or what a raving deal you have had.

Presented in metallic silver the car as I have said is in superb condition, we have furnished you with a huge picture gallery to help make up your own mind but I have checked the car too to emphasise any damage that the camera may have missed. I found a few stone chips to the bonnet, a couple on the near side front wing and a non intrusive screen chip, as I said great condition for a car with 20k on it. The interior, dark grey cloth, is equally immaculate and as with most fleet cars of this ilk looks like it has been in bubble wrap, the fact is the driver spent his days flying along the motorway alone and the passenger seats have seen little service, if this is a car you have been looking for or considering do not miss this we have priced it to sell well below retail cost and cheaper than you would find even at a Mercedes Benz direct site.

The car has arrived with us direct from the fleet of Lex Leasing and so is a ONE OWNER car, we have the V5 in our possession. The MOT is until January 2009 and the car comes with a comprehensive Mercedes Benz service history and services were completed as follows; 17k, 30k, 44k, 61k, 74k, 88k and 101k, the servicing was done at Derwent Mercedes, Harrogate Mercedes and the last five services at Leeds Mercedes, we have both the service book and the fleet company maintenance printout which shows the car had new front brake discs at the 101k service. As you can see with this provenance this is a purely retail vehicle at less than retail price.
It will not come as a shock to you that this beauty drives as well as it looks, there is a real feeling of being enveloped in luxury when you get in and the ride is incredibly smooth and comfortable. That is not to say it is sedate however, there is over 140bhp under the bonnet and this will fly when asked it just does it so calmly. On the motorway it feels like you are driving your favorite armchair, I only did about 30 motorway miles but it eats up the road and you just do not notice. As you would expect with a fully serviced Merc' everything feels as new and the general feeling this car gives you is that of a car that far exceeds its price tag. Fuel consumption is exceptional for an automatic with a combined figure in the 40's and on a run well in excess of 50mpg. Flip the gearbox into Tiptronic mode and you have the ability to drive the car harder if you wish and this mode works as it should, if you are lazy like me the auto box will become your preferred option however.

The extras are plentiful with this car and I will list some of them here, metallic paint and alloys, check pics for condition, front fog lights, radio CD player, information trip computer, dual climate control, front and back electric windows, electric mirrors with indicators, cruise control and speed limiter, rain sensor wipers, ESP (electronic stability programme) electrically adjusting seats, auto lights function, multi function steering wheel, reading lights and vanity mirrors, side and rear airbags, the list goes on.

There you have it, a chance to buy this awesome Mercedes C220 auto diesel saloon with Tiptronic option, a ONE OWNER car that comes with a comprehensive main dealer history, over 10k to next service, it has MOT until 2009 and looks and drives superbly, for a car in this condition this is cheeeeap compared to the retail outlets, do not miss out.
