IF those are the only things wrong with it then it sounds like a great deal, a steal, a huge bargain, etc. BUT, I doubt very seriously that those are the only problems!

Go take a look but I would imagine with an asking price of $900, that it is in very sad shape overall. Probably a very worn interior, tired engine, suspension, paint and has probably been severely neglected for many years. If this is the case, the cost to bring it up to snuff would be way more then finding one in good condition to start with.

Lastly, a 190E 16V is probably not the best model to enter the MB world with. It's a limited production model with some very expensive model specific parts, ie. self-levelling rear suspension, Cosworth 16V head, limited slip diff, Getrag transmission...front and rear seats just to name some of the bigger ticket items.
