opinions on whether this is worth the asking price? would the bodywork faults be costly to fix?

apart from that "2cm" dent which looks a lot bigger than that in the side view everything else is largely cosmetic.

If I was looking for a 190 that car would certainly be on my shopping list.

Looks decent, how about treating it to these (if they would fit?)

yes, I know. The seller has said.

he's also emailed me a pic of the interior wear on the drivers seat. What's everyone's opinion? He's said the dark/grey colour is shadow caused by light.

Looking at the state of the seat I think it was owned by a naturist.

Seriously though, I don't see what the fuss is about. There are lots of cheap 190s around. Just because it's a one owner car doesn't mean it has been cared for.

It's a 15 year old car in average condition with low milage and a full service history. The driver seat is well worn and that will only get worse. BUT - it's a solid MB and it's cheap. The cosmetic changes can be put right fairly easily but I would want a really close look at all the bodywork. It looks ok and the dent has clearly broken the paint and caused rusting which would need treatment.

Depends what you're looking for, a run about or a restoration project. Either way - looks OK. But I'd want to have a proper look at it and the engine bay etc before going for it. Cheap as it is - it could be a winner or a loser.

Those seat marks look like sweat to me, probablly nothing more sinister than someone wearing shorts in summer for tha last 15 years!

If the engine and drivetrain are good, it will be a great fun car. I want another one.
