Opinions on the 190D

There is a 190D for sale local to me for $800, ridiculously low from what I can tell.

What can be said about these vehicles? How dependable is the 602 platform?

Power, economy, etc?

If someone else wants it; have at it. It's in Homestead, FL. But for such a low price I almost can't say no.

The 190D is great unless it has rust or you expect somebody bigger than a 10 year old to sit in the back seat.

The 602 can be just as reliable as the 617 and it does not have the head cracking problem of the 603.

The early 602 head and gasket were updated due to the same problems as the early 603, check the FSM. My '87 190D turbo got a head replacement.

The 602 is a great engine, car is fun and resonably reliable considering the age, inside space being my only complaint.
