While working on my both CLKs (Coupe and Convertible) I always loved to experience the ownership of W164 M Class Mercedes and here we go, the cheapest one in Australia money could buy, so what do you think would you buy one of these at this price? Cheers Max.

one comment more please check the Brake Lines from the abs to the rear brakes. take away the plastic cover under the chassis and look for rust and leaks. ours "explode" in France 😀 "Jean-claude" was so kind to repair them - so we could go on. 😀

Check the vent door of the blower motor under dashboard if the ac compressor works , new battery and turn the steering wheel all left and right for ads light

Thanks Andrew, nice profile picture;)

All the fenders hood, doors and other body parts would be worth $2000 easily.

you mentioned most of the Problems of the w164. We've one with the OM 642 - it drives nicely, but there is no fun in working on this cars. fingers cross with the balancing shaft from the engine. MB fixed the Problem with the M272 late 2007.

Thanks Oliver, the weekend warrior factor of these are not comparable with CLK for example but in terms of practicality and comfort not bad at all, what do you think?

​@@BenzAddiction we primarily bought the car for our holiday trips 😀very comfortable for four person an language.Easy to go 800km per day. the diesel takes about 9ltr / 100km. For driving it is perfekt. But I don't like to work on it. for example the front brake disc is 12 kg, the battery is no fun to change and so on. you'll see by yourself. but all in all I totally agree about the price - they are really cheap and if you work by yourself on the car it is perfekt to own one !😀❤

Yes I did, I think so :)

Worst Mercedes I ever bought. Have owned. Ans still own a couple w124 300d 300e/211 270cdi 320cdi/163 270cdi ml500/164 280cdi and sprinter Its the worst Mercedes I ever bought. Oil cooler seal in the om648 and horrid electronics due to water ingress at the rear light cluster, rust is on par with the sprinter. Now I just love my old school Mercedes.

Yes.

A lot of car for $1400. Probably needs new spark plugs , and keep a look out for oil in the coolant reservoir due to a cooler gasket that fails.

Yes, you are correct, have to service fully.
