MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS

With us at RFH Classics we are delighted to offer this very handsome and increasingly hard to find 2008 (08) Mercedes-Benz C280 SE Automatic 4 Door Saloon finished in the wonderfully tasteful Bordeaux Red Metallic and complemented by a smart Two Tone interior trim. Unusually this is just a one former owner car with the 2nd owner owning the car for the past 7 years. It is worth highlighting that this Mercedes is ULEZ compliant (unusual for a vehicle of this era) which makes it an ideal choice for use in London or major city environment giving the perfect mix of refinement, practicality and effortless automatic driving in a sensibly sized family saloon.

We have just had the car in with Mercedes-Benz of Bedford where it has benefited from two significant manufacturer recall actions being fully completed. These include the replacement of both the driver and passenger airbags, and perhaps most notably, the replacement of the rear subframe under warranty and a valuable safety upgrade as some models of this generation had been known to experience issues with subframe corrosion concerns so with this work now undertaken by Mercedes-Benz, the issue has been permanently addressed. This represents a major preventative repair and can provide considerable peace of mind for the next owner being correctly dealt with to manufacturer’s standards.

Externally the car presents extremely well with the deep Bordeaux Red Metallic paintwork suiting the C-Class lines beautifully. The overall look is further enhanced by a set of fully refurbished alloy wheels, freshly finished in sparkling silver, which lifts the appearance of the car with a crisp, cared for appearance. Inside, the cabin is equally pleasing with the two tone cloth interior in excellent condition throughout. This particular car benefits from a good level of specification which includes Heated Front Seats, Climate Air Conditioning and the Factory Satellite Navigation that neatly integrates in the dash with the retractable screen allowing the cabin looking uncluttered and typically Mercedes in design. Other features include Electric seat adjustment, Electric Windows all round, Remote Central Locking with 2 keys, Bluetooth phone prep, Child Locks and Inertia seatbelts to all seats for added safety.

Under the bonnet, power is delivered by Mercedes’ smooth and proven 3.0 litre V6 petrol engine (2996cc) producing around 231bhp and paired to the superb 7 speed automatic gearbox (7G-Tronic) that gives a driving experience which feels refined, quiet and effortlessly capable even by modern standards. This particular example has just been serviced prior to sale, including the fitment of new brake pads, ensuring it is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

The W204 generation C-Class, introduced as the modern successor to the earlier models, is widely regarded as one of Mercedes’ best all-round offerings from the era offering strong build quality, excellent comfort, reassuring safety engineering and a genuinely premium driving feel. In C280 V6 form, they are also far rarer than the more common four cylinder cars and provide the sort of smooth performance that makes everyday driving a pleasure. A lovely, well kept and extremely usable modern classic Mercedes, equally at home as a daily driver, family car or a comfortable long distance cruiser with the added benefit of being ULEZ compliant.
