1984 Mercedes Benz 190E

I did go to check the car today and it is 10 minutes away from my home so I can assist .. Original owner purchased in Germany brought over to USA. Man passed like 4yrs ago and the car has been sitting for the most part ..Prior the woman says it was kept up and garaged. They did live near the ocean in Ft. Lauderdale but only body rust I saw was rt / rear jackhole and not too terrible ... other looked ok. The paint looked like it will shine up pretty well. I put the battery in for the woman and it did start up and hold the idle. Drove it around the street only but engine sounds and drives fine enough for what I expected..

Brakes were soft but there, and cosmetically the dash is cracked and so is the dash cover. I piece of the dash itself is cracked a bit by the rear defrost switch. Seats cloth are all in good shape and fronts have covers....Manual windows and manual sunroof. AC blew cold but not too strong...

Any q' or interest by someone they can contact me - here. The car needs routine attention. Could be a good project with some basic maintenence if someone likes to own a Euro spec 190E. I am also pretty sure she will let it go for under $1,000 cash. ]]> Mercedes Cars For Sale Austin85 http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/mercedes-cars-sale/339287-cl-euro-190e-florida-nearby-me.html End of the road for Miguel and his Panamerican expedition.

Truck was in the wrong lane, hit the 300TD, sending it into a tree and rolling down an embankment.

This is all that's left. Miguel got out with minor injuries.

I tried the fix where you file down each side where they would stay locked in place. That worked for a few times then one of the pins broke. I think I filed off a little too much.

In Texas it cant pass inspection unless the turn signals can lock. They dont have to self cancel but they do need to lock. Stupid..

My original turn signal twists for wiper speed and push/pull for dim and bright lights.

Anyone have a working used one they would care to sell? Or can I use a different year model thats not $250?

Steering wheel and upholstery still look brand new. 158k claimed very well may be accurate.

Anyways best unworn steering wheel I have seen in a long time is what got my attention plus the original paint and body is in great shape. Everything works well except the air owner claims.

Would check the head for cracks when I got there. Before handing over any money. Thinking it will take around four K to get it if as good as it seems.

What do you gentleman feel on price? Remember it is a southern car and I am in the pretty extreme northern east coast of Canada rustbelt. Cars like this are quite scarce in the north. Ones with steering wheels that look new still really rare. Since it has the smaller body than the sd and sdls what do these handle and drive like? Fairly quick in comparison to the 123s?

It's frequency increases with speed so I had a feeling it was related to the flexdisk or driveshaft.

It's only a little better since replacing the transmission mount but I noticed a place where the flexdisk is contacting the top of the body of the car and creating a wear spot. It only makes the noise shifting from 1st to 2nd.

I'm wondering if it is either the mounts are sagging and projecting the flexdisk upward or maybe is it the carrier bearing.

Thoughts on this please.
