I'm a rookie at this so I could use some help. The window sticker says "sport Pkg" but the moulding, valance and bumper look wrong to me. Can anyone shed some light??

Thanks!!!!!!!!

 

Your guess is Correct..The Picture is a NON Sport W210

 

Strange, it almost does look like the skirts from a sport package. Really hard to tell.

If there was a better angle to see the sides more clearly...

 

Non-Sport for sure, no AMG body kit...side skirts are not sport either, easy to tell from pic...

 

Doesn't have the 17" sport wheels for a 2000. Also, I do not see the "Sport" badge on molding behind front wheel.

Otherwise, looks like a pretty decent car.

 

I'm just blind.

My sport loooks alot like that one, except for the foglights and sport badge.

 

What year is your Benz???

 

'98

 

Ah see, that's why you think you're side skirts look almost the same bacause the sport side skirts on the 96-99 W210 look very close to the MY00+ W210 non-sport except they have that groove in them. The MY00+ W210 sport side skirts are completely different and look nothing like yours...

 

ok, got it. So MY00+ customers didn't have to shell out an extra 5k or thereabouts for skirts and one inch bigger wheels. Lucky them!

 

Us 2000 E430 boyz had to shell out $4010 for E3 Sport Package which is the AMG body kit, projection beam fog lights, and 17" 5-spoke wheels. My window sticker said there was supposed to be a Sport shift knob, but of course dealer was clueless. Bought one from Performance Products.

 

Ah. At least the non-sport '00+ wasn't as far away looks-wise as the older ones were. Made the 4k even less of a worthwhile option, imho.

 

And the 98 sport/AMG front looks nothing like the MY00+ in the picture (i.e. MY00+ bumper).....

 

Thanks for the help guys, we ended up buying a 2001 E430 Non-sport. 50K on the clock, a few stone chips, but the interior is immaculate and it checked mechanically...

 

Where are the pics. mang???

 

I'll try to take some tomorrow and post.. Car is totally stock. Silver w/ black interior so you guys have seem a million of them.

Our last benz was a 93 190E 2.6. It was a really nice car for what it was. A bit low on torque, but what a highway machine. There was one large pavement heave by the house that would send my (then) 92 325 into major convulsions. The benz just ate it up. Really, you didn't even feel it.

That was a few cars ago, and since the wife agreed to drive the Saturn SL2 (aka 'the appliance') for a few months while we got the new business up and running, we agreed to get her something nice.

I have got to say that we probably won't be doing any mods to the car because it is really really REALLY good right out of the box.

Fell like we got a pretty decent deal on it. The car is an MBlease turn-back. Never wrecked, and my friend checked it over with the perverbial fine-toothed comb. After looking for a few weeks, we finally agreed between us to go get the white one in the subject post.... Of course it was sold the day before.

Found this one that had just come off the truck, laid down 25 even for it. After seeing some of the rediculous prices on Ebay and Autotrader, I think we got about the best we could get.

I have to send some props to the guys at Hendrick Mercedes in Hickory, NC. Had a little issue with the climate LCD readout. Replaced under warranty. Also replaced both cats and fixed the blown fuse in the lighter. (I probably could have figured that one out, but since I was already there...). Total Bill.... No charge.
He even offered a loaner for the night if I needed to go.

Anyway, all parts in stock.... In at 8:30, rolling again at 11:30. Very good folks and I think it's worth the hour ride for me to go there vs the local dealer.

 

Yeah but this will be your before pic. that Whitey will store in his files for future use as you will probably be modding her really soon if you hang out here long enough, lol...

 

so what does a sport look like

 

Poor slob, he means to say that his wife won't let him touch her car!
