Got one, like it. I have to echo what Sasquatch said. they are great little cars. A lot more nimble than the larger Mercs. I have found myself heading for mine when parked next to my other vehicles. I would love to have the turbo,that would make the vehicle ideal in my opinion. The issues of parts has not been much of a problem for me , most of the 190e stuff fits, lots of them around. I truly haven't needed much. The stuff that goes wrong with them is pretty much the same as other mercedes, automatics, power antenna, CCU. One thing I have found on the NA version is valve stem seals, I have heard this from several people on this board. Not a huge issue but seemingly common. Window motors are a bit fussy in older 201s but often can be fixed by disassembling and freeing up stuck bits. Lack of drivers knee room is a bit of an issue for vehicles with non adjustable seat height. The little dash bits surrounding the switches can crack easily on removal or just with time, easy fix at a wrecker. Cheers Dan
