W212 E300 Avantgarde

First I have to apologize for the poor picture quality that my E71 produce

Anyway... This is the car I've waited for 5 month and it really was something to wait for... My dad bought E300 Avantgarde CKD but because of the immense order received by the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer, they cant manufacture our order in time. So they gave us an CBU model that came straight from the Mercedes-Benz factory from Germany. Considering that there is currently 100 E-class that are imported in Malaysia, my dad is the really lucky one. He paid the price for an E300 Avantgarde roughly RM4xxk but end up getting a E300 Avantgarde import with full option estimated around RM8xxk.

These picture down there are the actual car we get... So, feast your eyes with the brand new E class =D
