I have been really interested in buying myself a used 190E, not sure wish which engine, insurance will probably factor in there. But I am concerned about getting myself into a problematic car. I really know nothing about them, but I really like the look of them.
A freind of mine has a 1990 Mercedes 300E and it is so nice, smooth drive, ultra quiet in mint condition even though it has 192,000km on it. Would love to buy his or one just like it but my insurance would be $1000 a year more. Anyways, I am only concerned about the 190E. Please relay any recurring or known issues about it so I can make my decision.

thanx for the input.
