1988 Mercedes-Benz 190 E review from North America
"Looks and Drives Outstanding"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am thinking of purchasing a 1988 MB 190E. The dealer is asking 1975 USD - he got it at auction. It has one owner and all maintenance paperwork. It looks and drives incredibly. I almost can't believe it's so tight and powerful. The check engine light is on, and the AC seems to work intermittently.
General comments?
I'm thinking of this car for my daughter who is in school. And, I was convinced that I needed to get her something all wheel drive (snow, etc), but this seems like such a wonderful car for the money. Am I buying a money pit?
