Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 2 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 2 people together: the advert records 2 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 35 years old and 160,934 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
- You regularly help children or passengers into the rear: fewer doors can make access awkward. Try your child seats and usual passenger routine before deciding.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The combination described ( petrol automatic ’320’ from 1991) points to an early‑90s Mercedes convertible/coupe with a 3.0–3.2 litre V6 and automatic box — smooth and refined but thirsty. The automatic gearbox must have regular fluid/service history to avoid expensive repairs, and the soft‑top and interior trim are common age weak points. Mechanical parts are generally obtainable in Ireland, but original trim, seals and some electrical bits can be costly or slow to source.
- Soft‑top condition and seals: look for tears, worn bow seals and water ingress around the rear window
- Rust check: sills, A‑post/scuttle area, wheelarches and boot floor for typical 30+ year corrosion
- Automatic gearbox: warm shifting quality, hesitation or harsh changes and any external fluid leaks; ask about transmission service history
- Suspension and bushes: worn rear subframe bushes, shock absorbers and anti‑roll bar links produce poor ride/knock
- Engine cooling and oil leaks: check cam/valve cover gasket weeps, hose condition, water pump and thermostat operation
