190E for 2k?
Hey all! First time here.
Been looking for a 190e for a hot minute, as I'm looking for a car with longevity that surpasses my now falling apart Honda Civic.
I've found a 190E 1.8 Manual (pretty much my ideal, couldn't really care how fast the thing is) 174k miles and it's priced at about £2,250. Jacking points have been welded, head gasket done, engine reassembled, all fluids done and a "general service" has been performed. Apparently it's been imported from Ireland so the history is a little limited.
Think I like the idea of a higher mileage car given the fact it's "proven" mechanically. All the other examples I'm looking at have nicer bodywork but have been garaged and barely driven the past 10 years.
Just wondered what this sub and all it's expertise thinks of the car, will probably go see it in the next week or so after asking for some photos of the underside. This thing is basically my dream daily so I want to do it right :)
Thanks all!! (Before anyone points it out I can see the small crack in the front grill)
