190E vs C220 reliability
In looking for a car for my daughter I've decided to look seriously at the 1990-93 190E models, and perhaps Volvo 740/940. I'm trying to avoid buying a Toyota but who knows where this search will end!
However, in looking at the 190's, they frequently seem to be fairly run down and good examples are hard to find. When I find a good example the prices are high and seem to compete very well with 1996'ish C220's. So my question is - should I consider the C220? It appears to me by reading this forum that the mid-run models (1996-97) are well sorted out but can have annoying and expensive electrical problems. I would like to set up my daughters car to run reliably but fear random and complex electrical issues that will be costly to diagnose and repair and potentially leave her stranded. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks, Paul
