1988 190E 2.3

[aedgington]

Saw a tv show that mentioned this car & thought it would be cool to own. I'm a small car dealer & go to auctions, tommorrow there is an '88, but it has 251K on it. Is this even worth buying? With this mileage I can't even imagine it being sold for over $500, but would I be buying a rather large paperweight?

I just bought a 1988 190e 2.3L with 162K for $1,100. Looks like I might have to put another 2-3 hundred in it. But so far I still consider this a good deal. I have enjoyed driving it. Solid. I can't believe that this car is 20 years old. Great mpg. Good Luck

It's a good car if it was maintained. There is nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes

i second that...besides you could probably make about 2k on it parting it out depending on condition if things go bad ie: blow a headgasket etc

Do the people that replied to the original thread post realize its three years old?

still it's fun to reply in hopes that it may help someone in the future
