I've been offered a 1989 F plate W201 190E and am thinking of buying it as a runaround whilst looking for another car. Is there anything to specifically check for on these?
I've seen photos and all paint seems original with no rust. It's a manual, 85k miles and has had a recent MoT and oil service apparantly. 3 previous owners with a stamped log book but no invoices just some old MoTs. Not expecting much for the price to be honest but if it runs for 6 months that's fine by me. It has electric windows but assume they all did as not optioned?
