WTB Good dependable smaller Mercedes for cheap daughter
My daughter is in need of a smaller reliable Mercedes 190e c220 c230 c280 or maybeeven a 300e. Nice condiiton. But she doesn't have much money to spend. 1000 - 1500 is probably tops.
It needs to be a Mercedes because I was informed by my wife that we're going to help her buy this car. I won't buy any car other than a Mercedes. I could fix-er-up so the car need not be in perfect running condition.

Here comes the title jokes and catch phrases like " The most expensive car I ever owned was a cheap mercedes".
I have seen some good deals on craigslist though. I got a 190d of ebay for 600. Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

The cars are out there but you'll have to really scour the ads to find a good one with enough repairs that places it in the "salvageable" category.
When my sister wrecked her 190E I searched for a replacement. We searched high and low through CL because we wanted local and wanted to inspect before purchase. After hours of no success, an ad comes up and it's a 190E 2.6 for $1000. We look at it and we express interest. Turns out the registration was expired so the seller took out $100 from his own asking price. Needed a few things here and there but nothing my mechanic could not sort out. I drove it home and started on the repairs. Now my sister drives it daily. There are success stories but they're few and far between.

My two current Mercedes drivers 190D & 300SDL were BOTH under $1,000 Yes they needed some repair, no they're not rotted.
Looking for a gasser for my other daughter. she had a 190e that I gave to her for graduation, it had a couple gremlins, but got her where she wanted to go. since then, she's been through a neon (against my advice) a hynda (which was taken without her permission and totaled), she's now got an Old alero POS. Needs to be a Mercedes, it's the only car worth owning,,, literally.

I paid about a grand for my 300e about 6 years ago. I remember immediately spending 2k doing brakes, suspension, and belt related stuff.
I would sell you my VERY well sorted 300e, however, I would still cry like a girl at 3x your spending limit.
