How many miles will a 85' 190e go?

Highest mileage 190E 2.3 that I've seen is 480K. Did have engine work several times.

The 1985 engine is very weak in the valve train & timing chain areas.

I put 318k , original engine and Trans. the only engine work done on it was replacing the head gsket. sold .

I am at 192k and still running strong...did a head gasket at 172k. tranny must have been rebuilt when I got it because the converter is orange

I'm at 188k. Getting 24 miles per gallon, if that is what you were asking.

Well we just sodl our 86...... the transmission(5 speed none the less) died... It had 280,000 miles on it!!!!!! Was a great car... had an average of 32 MPG.. But it was a primary highway car!
