Hello everyone, I am new here. I joined because I'm currently looking to purchase a 190e, either the 2.3 or 2.5 versions (16v). I was wondering really what the correct price to pay for such a car is, and where I should look. I have a budget of about £5000, is this realistic? I have separate money aside for insurance, tax, repairs, fuel, services, etc. So far I've seen AutoTrader, eBay, CarandClassic, and some overpriced entries in the back of classic car mags, does anyone know any other good sources? Thanks in advance, |

Firstly hello and welcome, secondly 5k is top of the middle rung, if that makes sense of 16 valve prices. This link http://mercedes-190.co.uk/topic/227777/ will help with what to look for. It's good that you have also set money aside for insurance, tax, repairs etc because there will always be things that need doing no matter what price you buy at. Generally a 2.3 will be worth a little less than a 2.5 usually because they tend to be in poorer condition, due in part to poorer rust protection from new and being older. Hope that helps.

Thanks, that certainly helps. Do you know any other good sources to look for cars? I found Craigslist as well, maybe car auctions are another source? Hit and miss though I suppose. |

Here's one! bare in mind it's in Northern Ireland and it is at dealer price but I'm sure a deal could be done. http://www.hollybrooksportscars.com/2013/03/16/mercedes-cosworth-2-5/ |

I'm just showing what's out there, I do know that car and have driven it and it's a good example! Edited by gibpetrolhead, Tue Oct 29, 2013 11:13 pm.
