Hi there,
I am new to this board and am selling my auntie's 2.3 190 cosworth mercedes for her and at the moment have no idea of possible value.
The car was originally owned by her son for only 2 years or so (in 1986) and then she has owned it since, doing very little mileage. She is 70 years old and has kept it all these years because she always considered it safe and trouble free. Having driven it myself today, in all seriousness she probably never took it beyond 4000rpm or even used the kickdown (its auto). It drives very well and the suspension in particular feels like a new car. Also makes a stonking noise. ALthough its only a 2.3 I was also quite suprised by its performance.
My aunt has all recent history including a new set of dampers all round a few years back but in teh last 3 years or so she's only done around 5 k miles so there isnt a huge amount of history. But the service book is stamped by named Mercedes dealers (who still exist i am told) since 1986 and the PDI. Bodywork is quite good for a car thats 17 years old but is scratched in a few specific areas. Alloys could do with machining but other than that the interior is in extremely good condition, the leather is hardly worn.
I would be grateful if anyone had any pointers as to how much the car will fetch to the right enthusiast buyer and given that it is an example thats had no expense spared and also had a ludicrously stressful life. I will be selling the car shortly and any serious buyers are welcome to meet my aunt for verification. Maybe someone knows what similar cars have fetched recently ?
Any help appreciated
thanks
Rich
