Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Nyt ois tarjossa kauniinvärinen w203 mersu, eloisella V6 moottorilla! Auton ulkopinta todella hyvässä kunnossa ja vielä ikäisekseen hyvässä maalissa. Pari jälkeä siinä löytyy vuosien varrelta, mukaan lukien oikean takarengaskaaren edessä oleva kohta jota edellinen omistaja koittanut melko kömpelösti korjata. Pienet kosmeettiset viat eivät kyllä ulkonäköä ainakaan ole omaan silmään haitannut. Autossa on helmoissa hieman alkavaa ruostetta, mutta helposti korjattavissa, eikä se vielä välttis sellaisenaankaan mikään ongelma ole. Alusta kuitenkin täysin ruosteeton ja muutenkin alusta todella hyvässä kunnossa ikäänsä nähden. Sisältä auto todella hyvässä hapessa eikä isompia kosmeettisia vikoja sieltä kyllä löydä. Vähän ikä näkyy joissain kohdissa kuten muovisissa kahvoissa, muttei todellakaan haitaksi asti. Kyseessä siis hyvin toimiva ja yleisesti todella siisti mersu, josta varmasti vielä jollekkin moneksi vuodeksi menopeliä! Puh. 0449736913 Aaro Tolonen
