Interest in a Brown Designo interior W212

I have the full interior - door panels, front and rear seats for a W212 without split folding rear seat. I was hoping to get $1500. Located in Virginia and prefer not to ship, but it could be arranged at buyers' expense.


Seats are in 8 out of 10 conditions, no rips, or tears. Brown leather and black piping. Door panels are also 8 out of 10.

Photos to come soon.

What year did the interior come from; and what part of VA are you in, I may know someone who is interested.

I am not exactly sure, I was planning on putting them in my wagon but the split rear seat dilemma is not resolvable. They are in Northern Virginia. Also, they had the TV headrests which are not included. Door panels do not have the wood trim.

OK...you may want to consider changing your "advertisement" from I have the full interior - door panels, front and rear seats for a W212 to I have a partial interior - partial door panels w/ no woodgrain trim, partial front seats w/no headrests, and rear seats for a (I have no clue what year) W212.

The piece missing is the actual TVs, the headrests are not missing and the door panels can include woodgrain but it would not match the new owner's dash.

Pics please, and what year are they from?. I have the Wine Red designo Interior, but I am in love with the way the brown looks. I'd be interested in seeing these.

Judging from the massage controls on the side of the driver seat, I'd say there were pre-facelift (2010-2013), as the 2014+ have the Active Comfort seat controls built into COMAND.

2 fronts, rear bench, all headrests and door panels with wood trim pieces.

I am in northern Virginia.












are these "stock photos" sourced from different parts of the internet?
I ask because, the pics and details aren't consistent: some pics show the 'new leather' tag on the driver seat and some don't; some pics show the rear DVD screens (with headrest in up position) and some show no screens (and headrests in down position).

Makes we wonder what are we actually getting here
(sorry been burned way too many times on eBay by sellers not being accurate or forthcoming in their listings and pics.)

These are photos from when I bought them in January. I also indicated I'll take a photo of anything specific someone wants / FaceTime. I am an open book. Bought them for my wagon and getting the rear split seat cover to work is going to be too expensive for the look.

That is a heck of a deal. I'm sure someone will snap these up from you.

Those are beautiful! Unfortunately I have a 2014, and the cost to switch the wiring so that the seat will talk with my command, makes it too much... Someone should jump on these soon though, they are entirely too pretty to sit around and wait on.

too bad you don't have a full burl wood set. That would probably sell too.

Are you sure it's real leather and not MB-tex? On the one hand I would think Designo would be real leather as it's an extra cost option, but usually with real leather, the stitching on the seats is vertical not horizontal. You have the horizontal stitching which makes me wonder. If it is, it's interesting that they had it go the other way.

I hear that, but every Designo leather interior I have seen over the past several years has been laid out in this pattern. It's leather.

I would buy this now but like someone mentioned above, the wiring and programming so the multicontour can function could be very expensive and complicated :/

These were on ebay a few months ago. They are the same as my e350 with the exception of no AC front seats and the fixed rear seat. I had inquired looking for spare seat covers to use down the road but the non AC/Perforated was the deal breaker. *(being in FL, finding this one with the options and AC seats sealed the deal) The Designo interiors look great but they aren't going to be the most durable.

If I remember correctly they were initially listed at $2500 but took a while to sell. I think the auction finally sold at just below $1000. The Salvage dealer they came from is first rate.

A great deal for sure - but dont have enough garage space to buy for a rainy day.

Best Offer, I will also ship at purchaser's expense or send just the covers. Open to trades, I have a W212 wagon pre-facelift.
