#1988 mercedes 190e for sale upgrade#

The one upgrade that is almost necessary is switching to Euro-spec lights. My mechanic even complimented how tight and solid the doors feel as they shut! The MB-Tex 'pleather' interior looks like brand new, and lasts forever even on abused cars. The build quality is incredible, and it doesn't show its age despite the abuses of CA sun and IL snow and salt. The engine's power is well above adequate, making merging and passing a cinch.

#1988 mercedes 190e for sale driver#

The ABS brakes haul the car to a surprisingly quick stop when a deer or inattentive driver pulls out. The big window area gives driving visibility that make new cars seem like bunkers. The suspension gives a comfortable, if not overly sporty ride, and holds the road like a train even around tight corners. The car has the safety and creature comforts of a car 15 years newer, as these were very ahead of their time. My passengers are always surprised when they settle into an old car and experience how new it feels! I have received many compliments on its appearance, including being told it was 'the classiest one here' at a casual cars & coffee meetup. Not only does it bear great familial resemblance to the fanciest of this era's cars, it rides like and feels as solid as a luxury full-size. Mercedes designed this as a small car with the quality of the S-class in mind, and it shows. Even though I've had to do a lot of work to catch up with missed maintenance of the previous owner, I have enjoyed all my time with this car. I bought a '93 2.6l after its 20th birthday, with 130k miles on the clock. Like I said, it has only been a few days since I purchased my Unicorn and I have an appointment at the BMW dealership next week, so I will remain optimistic that everything will check out as promised/expected. To be able to drive my Unicorn off the lot for under $15,000 was magical :-) This car had an original sticker over $96,000 in 2010. I found Mike and Ron super easy to work with, very responsive, honest, direct, and supportive as I am working through a few hiccups in follow up (Bluetooth passcode, SOS error code, one malfunctioning seat warmer). Mike gave me a detailed description of the inspection and work done on the vehicle.all appropriate and expected for this model and its age. The interior is super clean but there are more paint and rim cosmetic issues than I would like which I knew that upfront (therefore the 3 stars on 'Quality of Repairs'), but I would not place cosmetic issues higher in importance than having competent/correct/trustworthy mechanicals.and so far the mechanicals seem to be dependable. I was initially a bit dubious about trusting an 11 year old car for such a long trip but I was not disappointed. I have had the car three days and drove it from Jacksonville to Tampa, Tampa to Atlanta, then Atlanta to Virginia. I was upfront, frank and honest with Ron and Mike. I of course wanted a fair price and was willing to pay a fair price for the right vehicle (CarGurus is helpful to evaluate pricing). I wanted a 'one-owner' vehicle, driven/owned in the south to avoid salted roads, garaged, low miles, and all service records at a BMW dealership demonstrating proper maintenance, and no accidents. I had been looking at the same model in all surrounding states to Virginia so I knew what to expect in terms of cosmetic appearance. I rented a car (one way rental!) and drove to Jacksonville, trusting Mike and Ron, and that I would be buying said vehicle.I know, I know.sounds stupid/naive. I found it at United Imports! I live in Virginia and put a nonrefundable deposit on a 2010 BMW 650i, sight unseen. I had been searching for a Unicorn for over two years.
