[Slammed190E]

Looking at getting a 190E and was just wondering how many kms is too much, I found one for pretty cheap that has no rust or anything just it has 250,000 kms or 155,000 miles and I was wondering if you guys think it would last another year or so until I can engine and transmission swap it

Depends on if it was maintained properly. 155K miles is not that old. Some people here have over 200K miles. But after 30 years the car will need many items replaced, all the rubber is getting old.

IMHO, there is high chance of numerous parts needing replacing ie shocks, distributor, EHA, brake pads & disc, fluids at the very least. unless of course the previous owner has evidence the car has been maintained very very well

Thanks for the help found another one with like 160,000 kms or 100,000k miles or so and gonna look at it today but if I get it I plan to get new coil overs or lower springs then change all the fluids and fix what evers old and needs replacing as I want to drive the car for a while I got big plans for it

What kind of plans do you have for your car?

I plan on getting the body looking nice then putting a 16v body kit on it that’s on facebook near me then lowering the car getting some nice AMG rims for it then saving up for a motor and transmission swap since all the 190E’s around me are automatic

I daily drive a 2.6 w/ 230K on it so high mileage isn't a problem. But you have to find a good example, otherwise a neglected example will cost you $$$.
And if you're looking for a manual swap, hit up member SEC 560 on this forum. He's always got complete manual swap kits for sale.

Beware of aftermarket body kits. They're notorious for being poorly made and for fitting poorly.

Mileage and Condition are very different on these cars. A car with 300k miles that was well maintained will be far better than a 50k mile car that wasn't.
