FS: 1987 190D 2.5 Turbo--Low Miles

I am considering parting with my 1987 190D 2.5 turbo. Its original owner registered only 74k on the odometer; I am its second owner and the odometer now reads 102k original miles. As attested by books and records (including the original window sales sticker), the "Blue Angel" has been meticulously maintained by its original owner and me. I alone have invested nearly $5,000 in recent maintenance and upgrades to make sure that EVERYthing works, from ice-cold AC, (converted to R134), to cruise control and sunroof. Since she has always been garage kept, there is no rust. Based on its low mileage, overall excellent condition, and relative rarity, the asking price is $10,500. Detailed maintenance records and additional photos can be provided on request. If interested please call 484-252-1328; serious inquiries only.

Nice! Good luck with the sale.
Regarding the price - you might want to hear out other 2.5 Turbo owners' experiences on this. Agreed, 102K Miles in 20 years is low, but people might be thinking of US 10.5K as a huge hurdle. What I would do? Keep it, most probably (if my W201 would have been a Diesel, it would never have gone away).

Thanks for the candid advice. You must know both my indie and my Better Half; because the former says "you'll kick yourself if you ever sell it," and the latter says "you're crazy."

And the more I think about it....

Truth to tell, I've never checked highway mileage per se. But city/highway combined turns in a consistent figure of 33/35 mpg.

I would kill to put an Evo II kit on that car. It looks excellent, one of the best out there, but definately out of my price range even compared to 16lvls
