Generally its hard to tell if this one is bumped up without looking at the headlight+grille. Based on tail light this one looks like late 80s model but has body color paint on bumpers and the newer alloys. But the fact that its a 300D means its an import.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() As I said it is bumped up based on taillights, badging, and the most important one the rear trunk lid which is the old type. Very easy to tell without looking at the front Last edited by canonball : 12th August 2009 at 12:34. |

Nostalgia about old "Benzes" (as they were referred to in those days- not like today when we call them "Mercs") brings up the memories of exclusivity, pride and the VIP treatment you got in those days when you drove up in a "foreign car", especially in a "Benz"! I've even jumped a kilometer long traffic jam on the highway, and the policemen just waved me past! Today I get to see at least a dozen Benz cars on my drive to Kochi, and the parking attendants and watchmen treat a Benz no different than a Skoda! ![]() Oh, the pre- face lift was named 250D, 200E, etc and not as E250D, E300D, etc after the face lift, right?

| ![]() Today I saw a 250D in Bangalore with at offer price of 3 Lakhs. The monogram was missing and dealer offered to install the monogram and do all other small works for that price. This car may need little attention. I will give you the dealer details if you are interested. |

| ![]() It looked pretty aged from outside however the engine sounded good, and at the end he is offering it for three lakhs. So if someone is tight on budget and wont mind the looks then whynot ![]() |

| ![]() Hi fellow BHPians, I have just acquired an E250D and I need a Wheel cover and would like some advice on restoring the upholstery in terms of cleaning and some repairs to the fabric. All suggestions welcome. |

| ![]() This is a Blue 1996 E250 D which was used by the erstwhile director of a company and has clocked just over 105000Km, has a few nicks and dendt on the front bumper and the rear right fender near the tail/fuel filler area. It cost me Rs.4 Lakhs and I am quite happy with my purchase. |
