Power tailgate opener

proser · 02-07-2009, 10:39 AM

Can these be retro fitted to earlier cars, or is there a kit available ??

If you are talking about the 211 E-class estate then this topic has been discussed many,many times.

Short answer

Mega bucks

Long answer

We should ask here for advice BEFORE buying this excellent type of vehicle

Good luck

I was thinking about on a late W210

As I currently has use of a brand new C200 estate and it's very handy to have, but can't afford to upgrade to a newer model just for this feature

You could always buy a W100 type 600 - these wonderful cars have a boot which opens at the touch of a button thanks to the central hydraulic system

Is that an estate?

I am not aware that the 210 even offered that as an option

No , but the boot on a W100 is probably as capacious as many 'lifestyle' estates .

I'd prefer the lifestyle of a typical W100 owner to that of just about any other model ...
