the 90's 190e were pretty good cars.

The 300DT, w124 are also good cars.

Both are cars that I would drive myself.

Sorry I can't help you on any mechanical information, btu from what I have read, those cars are very good.

If you want a small car, go for the 190, they are small and fit into tight parking spaces with ease.

The 300dt is a slightly bigger car, and is very nice feeling.

The 190 has some more aftermarket upgrades available than the 300, but you can still do upgrades to the 300. Suspension would be the best upgrade for it and so would wheels and tires.

Painting out the panels so they are color matched also looks great on both cars.

Either way, I recoomend looking for one with full maintenance records, and as low a mileage as possible within yoru price range.

So I take it your car was a total loss byt he ins co? That really bites.

My father had a tire shop pickup his jag once, and they crashed it. my dad sold the car tot he person who they crashed into. How is that for a weird situation?
