Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Siisti ja hyvin pidetty S320 CDI 4Matic Lang, joka ollut minulla omistuksessa jo 8 vuotta. Autoa on huollettu tarpeen mukaan eikä korjauksissa ole säästelty. Viime vuosina uusittu mm. takailmajouset sekä Airmatic-kompressori (yhteensä noin 2 500 €), ja kaikki jarrut on uusittu viimeisen kahden vuoden aikana. Varustetaso on poikkeuksellisen kattava: 4Matic-neliveto, Keyless-Go, panoraamakatto, Designo-sisusta, Night Vision, Harman Kardon -äänentoisto sekä hierovat ja ilmastoidut etu- ja takapenkit. Kesärenkaat ovat 20" vanteilla ja vain noin kaksi kesää ajetut. Talvirenkailla ajaa vielä ainakin tulevan talven. Korissa ei ole ruostetta, ja suurin osa korista on alumiinia. Ainoa mainitsemisen arvoinen kosmeettinen huomio on etupuskurin normaalit kiveniskemät. Vuosimalliin nähden vähän ajettu yksilö (268 tkm). Euro 4 -moottori on monen harrastajan arvostama ja tunnetusti kestävämpi kuin myöhemmät Euro 5 -versiot (esimerkiksi jakoketjun osalta). Auto on myös säilynyt täysin vakiona – ei ohjelmoitu eikä muutenkaan räpelletty. Vaikea löytää vastaavilla varusteilla, historialla ja kunnolla olevaa W221ä. MYÖS RAHOITUS
