1996 Mercedes-Benz C200 W202 Sedan - Blue - 216,837km - 2.0L Inline-4, Rear-Wheel Drive
Price Guide: $2,500 - $5,000
1996 Mercedes-Benz C200 W202, 4-door sedan, 2.0-litre inline-4 petrol, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, 216,837km, 5 seats.
Description
The W202 C-Class is the sharp-edged Benz from the era when Stuttgart was still building cars to last. Proper rear-wheel drive, a driver-focused cabin with burl wood trim, and the kind of solid construction that makes these cars genuinely interesting as modern classics. The 2.0-litre inline-four petrol with automatic transmission is the entry point of the C-Class range, but it delivers the full W202 ownership experience: direct steering, a composed ride, and a cabin that still feels well-resolved today.
This dark navy blue example has had some period-style modifications applied. Aftermarket multi-spoke alloy wheels replace the original items, and the car sits lower than standard on what appears to be aftermarket springs or coilovers. Window visors are fitted to all four doors. The body panels appear largely straight from the exterior. The paint shows significant oxidation across the roof and bonnet, which is a known consequence of prolonged outdoor storage on W202s of this age, and the headlight lenses have yellowed with age. Inside, the W202 cabin structure is all there: burl wood trim on the dash, console, and door cards, automatic transmission with the correct shifter, air conditioning controls, and the characteristic four-spoke steering wheel with SRS airbag. The seats carry noticeable soiling consistent with the car's condition, and an aftermarket head unit has been installed. The car is priced accordingly and represents a practical base for a buyer who wants to work with what is essentially a complete, driveable W202 at an accessible price.
The W202 C-Class is gaining traction as a proper modern classic, with clean, well-presented examples now asking $8,000 to $14,000 through enthusiast channels and specialist dealers. At its current guide, this example is priced as a project, and it should be assessed as one. The bones are there for a buyer who wants a rear-wheel-drive Benz with genuine classic appeal and is prepared to invest in cosmetic work.
