I'd like to add my name. Have had my '89 CE for just over a year now. Purchased it from the original owner a year ago in December with 74K on the odo for $10,300. I realize that it was probably a little high, but he had all of the service records and that was worth a few bills to me.
The coupe now has about 95K miles and runs fine. Mechanically, other than normal maintainance, I've had to replace the valve guide seals and the EHA block. The drive shaft flex disk is next up as well as an oil leak at the front of the head/block. Neither is critical and can wait.
Other mods have been to tie down the driver seat springs to the seat frame (giving me an extra inch of headroom, I'm 6'3" tall), install Bilstein HD shocks and Sportline sway bars. Also installed a Becker obtained off eBay in place of the aftermarket Kenwood PO had in the car.
I have purchased, but not yet to installed, Bosch euros and Bosch corners with the amber strip at the rear and some 8-hole 7x15 rims to replace the 15-hole 6.5x15 rims.
Only other mod I would like to do is to install a higher capacity alternator and an Alpine mp3 changer. Other than that, I'll be set for quite awhile.
Color is Smoke Silver with cream interior. All in all, I love the car, but wish it had a stick shift (maybe from an old 190E 2.6) and more head room.
