Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Myydään tuoreella leimalla oleva Mercedes-Benz A-sarjalainen (W169). Katsastettu 18.5.2026, joten ajoaikaa on reilusti jäljellä! Auto on ajokuntoinen ja päivittäisestä käytöstä.

Plussat:

  • Katsastettu 18.5.2026 – valmis suoraan ajoon
  • Elegance-varustelu: Vaalea kangassisusta, puusomisteet, nahkainen monitoimiohjauspyörä
  • Ilmastointi (vaatii täytön)
  • Sähkökäyttöiset ikkunat & peilit
  • Keskuslukitus
  • Lohkolämmitin ja sisätilanpistoke
  • Tavaratilassa suojakaukalo ja rullattava näkösuoja/hattuhylly
  • Mercedes-Benzin alkuperäiset alumiinivanteet x2

Huomioitavaa / miinukset:

  • Vaihteisto: Vaihteiston laakeri pitää ääntä ja kakkosvaihteen synkro on kulunut. Kakkosvaihde menee normaalisti päälle, ja kun vaihtaa rauhallisesti, se ei "räsähdä".
  • Kori: Korissa ja ovien alareunoissa/helmoissa on tyypillistä pintaruostetta ja ajan tuomaa kulumaa (näkyy kuvissa).
  • Sisusta: Vaaleissa kankaissa käyttötahraa, mutta verhoilu on ehjä.
Tästä edullinen ja pitkään leimattu peli suoraan ajoon. Tervetuloa koeajolle!
