Now that you can find W124's for so cheap, there is absolutely no reason to buy a 190E. Unless you just have to have one. The 300E is a superior car in almost every way. The 190 is a "C-Class" and the build quality difference shows. Yes, it's still a Mercedes. But interior quality/design of the 190 does not seem anywhere close to that of the 300. It just feels like a 300E with corners cut in almost every way to make it cheaper (which it is!). Yes, its a great chassis. But you couldn't pay me to own one.
