Vehicle History

This Mercedes C180 "Esprit" series W202 was first registered in February 1998. The first owner kept the vehicle until a mileage of just under 30,000 until he sold it due to his age in 2022 — the photos date from this time. With the first owner, as with the current owner, the vehicle was always garaged and rarely used. The seller has not used the car in winter or bad weather. Based on the vehicle's condition, it can be assumed that the first owner also did not move the vehicle in the rain or winter. However, it cannot be guaranteed. Currently, the car has a mileage of about 34,000km. Unfortunately, the vehicle is missing maintenance records. However, according to the seller, the condition suggests that the indicated mileage is correct. 

Exterior & Interior

The "Esprit" equipment line was first introduced for the C-Class in 1993 and was aimed at a younger, modern target group. Accordingly, the model is lowered by 25 millimeters, the seats and door panels are upholstered in colored fabrics ("Brighton" trim), and the interior trim strips have a specific blue design. There is also "Esprit" lettering on the gear knob and fenders, for example. The Mercedes is painted in azurite blue metallic (366U). According to the seller, the interior is in year-old condition. Except for a thermometer placed on the center console by the first owner, the interior is entirely original. Rather untypical for the model, the vehicle has no rust, according to the seller.  

 

Since the C180 offered here was built after the major model update in 1997, it is equipped with driver and passenger airbags and side airbags for the front passengers. Furthermore, it has an electric sunroof, the radio "MB Special" and a through-loading possibility to the trunk. 

Technical condition

The seller reports that the offered C-Class has no technical defects, is accident-free, and that in the vehicle was not smoked. The 1.8 liter 4-cylinder engine with 90 kW/122 hp revs up cleanly, the manual 5-speed transmission shifts smoothly and the suspension functions flawlessly. According to the seller, the C180 is in exceptionally good, trouble-free maintenance condition. The Mercedes has TÜV (German MOT) until 06/25. 

The vehicle is being offered on behalf of the owner.

FAQ

To bid, you must register as a bidder. The registration process on HeartBids also includes registering with our free escrow. To protect our users and to comply with EU legal requirements, your identity must be verified during this process. HeartBids adheres to the highest privacy standards and never publicly shares information from the identity verification process. We only share whether the verification was successful.

With an instant bid, the amount entered is immediately confirmed as a bid. This means you can make large bid increments without numerous lower bids in between.

Absentee bidding allows you to set a maximum bid up to which bids are automatically placed for you. In this case, the absentee bid always increases by the current minimum bid. Absentee bids are especially interesting if you can not actively participate at the end of an auction and want to bid in absentia.

Please note that if there are several identical highest bids, the bidder who placed their bid first will get the bid!
The minimum bids increment depending on the status of the auction. Up to 50.000,00 €, the minimum bid is 250 €. Between 50.001 € to 100.000 €, it is 500 € and from 100.001 € the minimum bid is 1.000 €.
After you win an auction, our escrow will ask you via email to deposit the vehicle price and the commission into the escrow account. The account is automatically set up and for this transaction only. Simultaneously, you can contact the seller and arrange the vehicle transfer. The escrow will inform the seller as soon as you have deposited the money. At this moment, a 14-day payout period begins, after which the money is automatically paid out to the seller unless you object to the payout. If you need a more extended payout period, e.g., because of long transportation, you can stop the automatic payout. However, you are obliged to release the money as soon as you receive the vehicle, and it matches the description.
The buyer's commission is 6% (incl. 19% VAT) of the auction proceeds or at least 600€ (incl. 19% VAT). With increasing auction results, the percentage of the commission drops. The exact amount of commission can be found in our pricing overview
Added value for buyers:

The trust-based payment process takes place step by step, thereby preventing you from being left with no money or goods at the end of the day or paying for something that you did not order or commission. With an escrow agent, you can be sure that your contract partner endeavors to carry out the basic business quickly and to your satisfaction.

When you hand over your vehicle in person, you do not have to make a detour to your bank to withdraw cash and transport it from A to B - you just pay on delivery quickly and easily with one click

Added value for sellers

. You do not have to take any financial advance risk. The buyer or customer pays the agreed price (also partial or partial payments possible) before you ship the vehicle. Once the money has been deposited into the escrow account, the buyer won't receive the money without your consent.
