Reluctant sale of this Mercedes 190E. Basically selling as me and the missus are going to be moving in together, and have decided to go from three to two cars. The Mercedes isn't practical for daily use really (it would get trashed where I work because it's different) so we have decided to keep her Fiesta and my Ibiza. However a part exchange would not be out of the question; any reason to get rid of her Fiesta is a bonus and I'd like a cheap to run retro as a daily so that she can use my Ibiza !
1984 (B) Mercedes 190E 2.0 Auto
MoT: July 2012
Tax: 31st January 2012 (Exclusive to RR members - if it goes on eBay it will be untaxed)
75,500 miles (may go up slightly as I will be using it occasionally)
Loads of history, has obviously been a well looked after car with money spent on it. I wanted to keep this for the forseeable, but circumstances don't dictate this unfortunately.
Bodywork tidy, some minor age related blemishes but nothing of concern. Only rust I can see as a concern is a small (less than 5p size) bubble on N/S/F arch. Solid underneath (and commented on by the MoT tester!)
Engine is nice and smooth and runs great - lovely to drive with no knocks or rattles. Steering is nice and tight and handles great with the lowered suspension whilst still giving quite a smooth ride.
Has a nice Zender bodykit fitted, not sure if its a replica AMG kit made by zender as the front spoiler has the AMG logo on it.
A previous owner has also fitted the 2.3-16 cosworth badges on the boot!
MB Tex Interior
Carpets, dash, headlining etc are all mint
There is a CD player fitted and some decent speakers which sound great.
Issues: Central locking is caput, never looked into it.
Both O/S windows don't open. O/S headlight has a crack in the lense. Both front tyres showing signs of age (cracking) could do with replacing. I have the parts to repair the windows & headlight, should the car sell for asking price I will carry out these repairs and also replace the front tyres with decent items.
So there you go. As said I will accept a part ex, anything goes (if I start using it for my commute its 16 miles round trip so economy no big deal and can use Ibiza where required out of work anyway). I'm especially interested in BMW's, Mercedes (newer than this maybe?), VW's, Fords and Vauxhalls. But try me with anything else
£1000 offers considered but obviously depending on offer depends whether I carry work out above!
