I have a 124, and plan to change my car soon. Due to my country High Import Tax, it will very expensive to buy a new model.
I am trying decide between E240 1999 model and a E 200 2000 model. Can someone share some lights on which is a better model ?
I like the E 200 facelift look and dashboard. It looks very up to date. But i also like the E240 V6 engine, really smooth. However is there a real power difference, since the E200 is multivalve with tiptronic gearbox ?
I have been trying to look for some reviews on this cars, but am not able to find.
I look forward to read your valuable input on this matter.
Personally I would not touch a 210 unless it had a minimum of 6 cylinders. So I would suggest a 240 anyday. Also the only major difference in the 2000 and 1999 model from the inside is the nav screen, which looks pretty good but I can live without it. As for the outside,... I prefer the prefacelifted 210's over the more feminine looking 2000+ models.
Best advice I can give is to go for the 240 and then add the tail lights of a 2000+ model as well as an avantgarde front grille, and get the lower plastics colour coded. That should be more than enought to keep you happy for a few months.
Make sure you have Xenon headlights, if not get an HID kit immediatly. And remember, options make all the difference in a 210.
