Description: 1996 Mercedes e290 Turbo Diesel Elegance 5 speed manual transmission Car - Privately Imported into U.S. (Gray Market) Excellent Video of It Running and Shifting and Driving Below Totally original car with low miles (odometer is in kilometers), that routinely gets 47mpg! NO RESERVE - European spec Mercedes e290d turbo diesel with metric gauges, with Mercedes factory five speed MANUAL transmission, imported into the US in 2021, loaded with options. Very low miles for a high longevity model and engine, routinely averages 47mpg on highway, with world famous ‘million mile’ Mercedes OM602 factory turbocharged and intercooled five cylinder 2.9 liter diesel engine. The Mercedes OM602 engine is highly sought after because of its reliability and incredible fuel economy, this engine also was used in many euro spec Mercedes Sprinters and Unimogs. This is my personal Mercedes. Ready for the next Mercedes lover. The miles are mostly from driving on the highway. Original, unmodified, rare (probably can’t find another one in the US), Euro spec Mercedes e290td turbo diesel. Was imported from France, original European owner’s manual in French and service records and previous registration and inspection cards from 2021 also in French and they go to you with the Mercedes. My weekend driver. Imported from France. Battery got weaker and weaker a couple years ago, I put in another battery, still was weak. They told me it needed a new starter and as I heard the cranking to start get slower I ignored that thinking it was the battery, and then eventually one weekend I went into garage and tried to jump start the weak battery and I got on an important phone call and didn't stop cranking after a minute and killed the starter. That was a year ago. You'll need a fresh big battery, a new starter, drain and re-fresh with new diesel, probably replace filter and then you should be good to go. Amazing runner. Incredible fuel sipper. I'd get about 47 miles per gallon while babying it on the highway. I changed oil religiously with full synthetic. All systems and accessories are operational. There are only a couple of these Mercedes in the United States. Add to your collection and watch it increase in value over time. This Mercedes is about 28 years old. Low miles: 202,829 miles, 326,733 km. VIN: WDB2100171A104613 euro spec Clean and clear title, in hand. NO RESERVE --- NO RESERVE --- NO RESERVE --- NO RESERVE --- NO RESERVE I am selling my totally original Mercedes e290D which was imported into the US from France in 2021, the original owner was an elderly gentleman who ordered it new. It's a very nice and cool car as you can see in the photos. They are rarely kept in this condition and typically heavily modified, everything is from the factory, including wheels, cloth seats, interior, radio, sunroof, engine and so on, even the original MB windows with the vin etched on all side windows. Routinely 47mpg on highway!! Haven't started it up in some time since the starter went out, and have had it sitting in my garage. This is my weekend driver. It started right up every time, runs cool and very smoothly. Doesn’t leak fluids or smoke. Air conditioning works well and is cold, heat works well. Previous owner said it received tune-up, oil & filter change, air filter, belts, hoses, injectors, clutch, Bilstein struts front & rear and several other parts were replaced in 2021, though I cannot find the receipts showing the work was done. One can feel they were done in any case because the car runs and drives so well. Four new tires in 2022, we didn't drive it much, so they have not had much use. Was resprayed many years ago in its original color. Some minor dents, scratches, chips, bubbling and peeling starting here and there as expected on the body of a nearly 30 year old car. Factory Mercedes radio works, heater works and AC is ice cold, needs starter and battery, currently does not start, you obviously can not drive it. I didn't attempt to fix it. Clean and clear title, sold as-is as 28 year old vehicle. All inspections are welcomed before bidding or making offers. Remainder of agreed price or completed eBay auction price is due within 7 days. Payment shall be via bank wire transfer only, no checks of any kind whether official or certified or otherwise and no cash in-person. For transport I can get preferred pricing, and handle that part for you if you wish, or I also have an excellent international car shipping broker to recommend, handling transport and customs clearance and paperwork, etc. I have additional pictures if there is some area in particular you would like to see and videos. I am a nice seller and will work with you on any special requests or extra services you need. If you are shipping overseas and if you want extra things to be ordered and put inside we can handle that for you. Though some ocean going container shippers recommend you do not put things in a vehicle being transported. Concierge service offered where all you have to do is pay and otherwise not lift a finger. You can take up to 30 days to pick it up or get it transported out but be advised I am going on vacation for about 28 days starting about 10 days after the auction or listin ends. If you are picking it up within that window I can probably leave the keys with the neighbor for you to pick it up or otherwise have them turn off the alarm and open the garage for a transport to pick it up or for me to have it transported to the Port of Miami. If for some reason the neighbor is also on vacation when you want to pick it up then you may have to wait for me to get back if you don't pick it up within 10 days of the auction ending. If Buyer doesn't pick up the vehicle within 30 days of the auction ending buyer will be responsible for storage charges of $95 per day retroactively beginning the day the auction ends. The purchase of this Mercedes is covered by eBay's Vehicle Purchase Protection subject to limitations which generally assures that buyers are guaranteed to receive the vehicle and its clean and clear title. NO RESERVE --- NO RESERVE --- NO RESERVE --- NO RESERVE --- NO RESERVE The Mercedes is Located in Miami (South Florida) in the United States. It has a clean and clear vehicle title. When I wrote that transport is free "to the Port of Miami or or Ft. Lauderdale", that would be relevant only if you want to transport it OUT of the United States from Florida.
