I have a 1995 C180 Sport at the moment which I got about 6 months ago? It's a nice enough car which I enjoy very much but it has been mucked around with. It has DOTZ alloys with spacers on one wheel only. It only takes a small bump and thats the tracking gone. I live down country lanes so the sports suspension can be jarring. It also needs an indicator stalk fitting (got one from a scrapper) and the exhaust heat shield tightened up. My local Indy reckons the cat is loose and is rattling in the manifold. It has been an excellent foray into the Merc world. I wish I could stretch to £10k for a car as there are plenty of nice merc specimens to drool over. My budget.... whatever I can get for the C180. I do like the 190 but I have only seen cloth, manual box examples for sale near me..... until today!
It's a 1992 190E 2.6 on at £695 near me. It has the leather and the auto box. I know I should check the shocks, ball joints, timing chain, oil pressure and 4 round wheels. Anything else that I should watch out for? It looks totally unmessed with from the only photo so I think a trip to see it is warranted. It doesn't list the milage but that doesn't worry me as long as the rest of the car is in top nick.
In advance ..... cheers!
