And we all know Merc's can handle the miles.
hahah? Are you guys kidding me? Im talking about nickel and dime ****. Blower motors, speedo cables, shifter bushings etc... All that crap wears out weather you drive it on the highway or in town. The mileage reflects how much use the electronics have gotten. Motors EVENTUALLY wear out. Plain and simple. This guy is talking about it like the only thing your odometer reflects is miles on the engine. If the engine has just been worked on/replaced, thats fine. But the chassis still has that high mileage on it. Im just saying, its really not hard to come by 190es. So if you can get this one on the CHEAP for 1500 or something, why not just shell out the other 2k for a nice example with lower miles? Save yourself some headaches later on down the road man.
