My car's an '09 plate 2.0HDi Exclusive auto Tourer, the 136bhp variant. It has around 90k miles recorded with quite a lot of history to go with it. I bought it 2 years ago from the original owner and have put around 18k miles on it. Its dark metallic grey (Gris Fulminateur) with black, half-leather interior.
Bodywork is quite nice, there are a few age-related marks but nothing horrendous. The interior is good, never smoked in, the driver's seat 'wing' shows some wear and tear - the foam under it seems to have broken up. Aircon is cold. Suspension seems good, although I'm told the height setting may need adjusting via Lexia as it might be a tad high on the front - up until recently, it went through all the height settings without a hitch.....it now won't usually throw up the 'high' display on the dash, although to my eyes its going all the way up!
Its recently had a recon steering rack, a driveshaft, new genuine pads at the front and I've some new genuine ones that will be going on the rear very soon. It had a new high-level brake light fitted a while ago too. Malcolm at Savoy Garage did a partial gearbox fluid change, and an oil and filter too, back in October. Tyres are good - Avon winters at the rear that are only 15% worn, Barum Bravuris 3s on the front with at least 50% left on them. Full size steel spare with unused Michelin. There'll be a year's MoT on it. 2 keys, all the paperwork/handbooks.
Negatives? The interlock on the gearchange is very hit and miss - I bought the relay that's probably at fault, but I'm buggered if I can find the thing!

I've got a hankering for a Merc 190e, sort of a modern classic, and I can't justify having one as what would be a 3rd car (what I mean is that I can justify it very easily, but my Mrs, on the other hand.......
