Default My "new" Mercedes E220 (w124 series)

Finally found a w124 I liked, picked her up this Saturday from Mumbai.

Mercedes E220
Azurite Blue
Grey Cloth interior
Mar 1996
One owner
Comprehensive Insurance until March 08
Mercedes 8 hole alloy wheels
4 new tyres
54,000KM
Everything works as it should do.
I feel its in excellent condition and the interiors are clean.

Congratulations Raja. The car looks fabulous. Great buy. Don't worry about service. Millenium motors are the best around. I know the works manager and can help you out if you require anything. Cheers and drive safe.

Thanks to everyone for their best wishes.

Looking forward to bringing her to the next local meet.
(I don't think I can make it to the out of town meet that's happening at the end of the month).

Congratulations on a fantastic buy!! She (assuming it is a she!) looks awesome. Metallic blue is my favorite color for W124's...Great Deal!
