190e, the new "e30"?

[akorcovelos]

I didn't think Merc even offered a manual state side until '97?

There's a guy in MKE that keeps putting up a 2.3 16v Cosworth every now and then. $5500, so I presume it needs something..

see, that's what im talking about. you cant find an m3 for that price range. even with something wrong with it.

W123's intrest me more, but as a whole what differs BMW vs Mercedes( actually used to) is that BMWs were the driving enthusiast's car and Mercedes was the relaxing touring car, hence the more manuals available in the BMW range of cars and autos in the mercedes range.

styling: awesome
motors: boring, except the 2.3
interior: ha

its no e30.

still, i know someone whos selling a black one for 1500, and i am having a hard time staying away.

There's a manual in a local salvage yard here. I've been looking for one as a daily forever. I'd pay extra to snag one off of CL, but I bet as soon as I do, something nice will pop up for cheap local.

Try finding a manual.

If it was easier to find them in manual, I would own one right now.

check that out.

i think 190es are set to become the new cheap 80s german car to buy. there is one with 89k miles for $3250. it would be at least double that if it were an e30. and we'd all be drooling all over it.

wish i had space for another car. i'd like to check them out. still searching for my 190e 2.3-16.
