A good deal . . . or walk away?

I foolishly gave my 1985 190D 2.2 with a stick shift to a youngster who was in need of a transportation car. It only took him a couple of months to total the thing, (hit a moose). I've been without...

My '85 190D 2.2 is indeed a five-speed manual. Even with the stick shift, it is slow, slow, slow. I've been yelled at for "driving like an old man". But that was going up a slight hill with four...

Thank you. A Google search on the part number shows several on-line retailers that sell it for just under eleven bucks. I'm headed over to the dealership now to order one, (or maybe two).

Consistently get 35-36 mpg with my 190D 5-spd stick.

The 300CE only gets 22-24, and that drinks premium fuel.

Haven't decided for sure, but am considering selling my 1985 190D 2.2 with a manual transmission. I really don't fit very well in it, being 6'3" tall. It's always a tight fit.

I'm wondering how...
