I really didn’t want to do this but my wife says I have too many cars and irritatingly, this time she’s right. I need to move this on to free up some cash to spend on my longer-term projects.
This is my 1990 Mercedes 190e automatic. It’s done 97500 miles and is MOT’d until 8th September 2017. I have a pretty comprehensive history with the car and quite a few receipts for jobs I’ve done. I’ll also throw in the stockpile of parts that I’ve acquired with the sale for the new owner.
The car has been my daily driver for the last year and I’ve actually owned it twice, having first bought it in late 2014. It’s been a fantastic daily driver, cruises well on the motorway and does the school run with me every day with no fuss at all. I took it to France on a road trip in 2015 and it covered over 1000 miles in a weekend without a hitch.
There are a few marks around the body but nothing horrendous, I’ve taken some photos of the worst bits that I can share if you are interested. Underneath the car is rock solid, there is no sign of rust or previous welding in any of the common rust traps underneath. I’ve photographed these too.
It’s lowered on a set of GSF lowering springs minus 2 coils on the back and one on the front. It rides really well, but the tester advised on the rear shocks on the last test as they’re not leaking but could do with changing. It’s sitting on staggered 15” 15 hole Mercedes wheels, 7J ET25 rears and 6.5J ET49 fronts as I recall. If you wanted to put the car back to standard I’ll also throw in the stock springs it came on and a set of stock steels with nearly new Michelin energy tyres and the factory flat wheel trims.
Parts wise, I’ve photographed some of it but there is a fair bit more. Other than that photographed, there’s a box full of screws/clips/bolts/switches and bits of trim. There’s also a set of factory Mercedes roof bars, a spare back bumper with a tow bar that I'd planned to fit. I’ve also got a genuine Mercedes foam bonnet pad that I’ve never got round to fitting.
Cheers.
