Description
AC Youngtimer offers you a beautiful Mercedes 230 C, the Coupé version of the W123 series. The car is of French origin with a track record (8 owners) and 233, 000 certified kilometres. The W123 series was an important milestone in Mercedes' history. There was a major stylistic break with the previous generations and Mercedes wanted to make a robust and democratic car. Robust, it's true, because 123 series cars with over 1 million kilometres are not rare, but not really democratic, because the new price was still much higher than those of competitors. The 230 version here is the 136 hp version, almost as powerful as the 280, but easier to maintain and with less fuel consumption.
As with all our cars, this vehicle benefits from the following services: - Vehicle with a valid roadworthiness test - 12-month warranty as standard - Possibility of warranty extensions for extended cover - Possibility of delivery anywhere in France - Possibility of trade-in or even exchange for a classic vehicle - Production of the vehicle registration document in your name - Transformation of the vehicle registration document into a classic vehicle registration document Let's take a look at the owner The bodywork has no dents, bumps or even major scratches.
There's no corrosion, nor is there any on the chassis, nor is there any damage to the very stylish fabric upholstery, which is incredible. The driver's seat is surprisingly supple, but this is a common feature of Mercedes cars of this era (no doubt due to the design of the seat). The carpets are not stained, faded or torn and are in good condition. The interior trim is as good as new, a testament to the car's excellent build. All the woodwork is present and shows no signs of age-related deterioration.
The test drive confirms that the car is in very good overall condition. The car starts without difficulty and without any particular exhaust smoke. The engine revs up smoothly and without jerking. The idle is stable, and gearchanges are smooth both up and down the gears. The driving experience confirms the car's good fundamentals. The car stays on course without difficulty, and braking is powerful on the line. The only problem is that the suspension is a little soft in bends, but with this suppleness speed bumps and other speed bumps will be no more than a formality.
In short, a true 4-seater coupé, which once the windows are open (without a frame), allows you to drive in complete peace of mind while enjoying the gentle breeze, almost like a cabriolet without the disadvantages of the latter. Come and see it for yourself (by appointment).
