I admire your dedication to MB and your desire to have your car running in tip top shape. But moeny doesn't grow on trees (at least not for me). A dollar you save is a dollar you earned (thanks Ben Franklin). Be a careful shopper and you will be ahead ont he long run.
I hope that this website will help you to become a choosier consumer. Ask here before you spend your money and I am sure that you will get plenty of good advice.
Good luck my friend.
BTW the 190E is a very nice car. Benz spent a lot of time andmoney inits development. When it came out it was way ahead of other cars. It is a Bruno Sacco design, so you know its style will be timeless.

oh yes,,,believe you me.....700 for tires did not seem to compute very well......but,given the i guess,forced feeling i had{ that is for the fact whilst having the trans gasket replaced the seals elsewher decided to go and then according to the mechanic there were peices of metal floating around inside....shifted good before so far as i could tell though,thus my car immobile without new trans } that was abit overwhelming i figured what the hell ! indeed money for me doesnt grow on trees....it was the fact i have a 30k credit card that had been recently brought back to zero that only made it possible,,,,,but that aint nothin to be proud of either ! fact is whats the overall cost going to be now in the long run after the interest charges.........especially since once i paid them off in full back down from 23k,,,never a late payment even,,,,they raised py rate from 7 to 17%,,,,,wtf ???? yeah. so ive still got to look into that as well.
