Good to see you too! September 8th, 2025 at 3:08pm ESTClassicAutoSMTH (7) 1FWIW I've worked with this dealer before. They keep interesting MB's around and know their stuff well. @gt3drake good to see you on this side of the screen! September 8th, 2025 at 3:08pm ESTPricklyPearAutoClub (45) 1Oops, sorry. Just saw your response. For some reason the page didn't refresh for me at first. Thanks!September 8th, 2025 at 3:03pm ESTPricklyPearAutoClub (45) 0Can I get a response to my questions?September 8th, 2025 at 3:00pm ESTGT3drake (9) Seller 11 hour left! We put in over $2500 into this beautiful 190e to make sure it’s a safe and fun driver for the next owner! September 8th, 2025 at 2:54pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0Additional underside photos have been added to the gallery to illustrate condition along with two additional photos of the referenced stabilizer shock. September 8th, 2025 at 2:53pm ESTGT3drake (9) Seller 1@PricklyPearAutoClub we just put the car in the air and verified it’s not leaking from the valve covers. It’s a blown steering stabilizer shock. We are getting photos uploaded now showing this. We had the AC compressor replaced and the whole system serviced. It blows ice cold now.September 8th, 2025 at 2:45pm EST$3,500 bid placed by @JBarnesSeptember 8th, 2025 at 2:32pm ESTPricklyPearAutoClub (45) 0Can you see oil leaking from the valve cover? Any way to trace more closely where it's coming from? Also, I know it says it has had a recent AC service, but does the AC function properly? I know often times the control units themselves, especially the temperature select wheel, can go bad and cause all sorts of wonkiness in the system.September 8th, 2025 at 2:25pm ESTthembmarket (691) 1Photos of the emissions plates have been uploaded to the gallery. September 8th, 2025 at 2:09pm ESTGT3drake (9) Seller 2@vido yes, it is 50 state emissions legal. I will upload a couple pictures September 8th, 2025 at 1:55pm ESTvido (0) 0@GT3drake appreciate it. One more question please – this is 50 states emissions certified?September 8th, 2025 at 1:33pm ESTGT3drake (9) Seller 0@vido we are not sure. It’s toward the front so possibly the valve cover. This car is not perfect but it’s a great drivers car and is super clean for being 40 years old.

All seals around doors, hood, trunk look good..September 8th, 2025 at 1:06pm ESTGT3drake (9) Seller 0Just over two hours left—don’t miss the chance to own a well-preserved 190E! We are here to answer any last minute questions. Thanks! September 8th, 2025 at 1:06pm ESTvido (0) 0anything leaking on the car? any of the seals (door, hood, truck, etc.) needing replacement? thank youSeptember 8th, 2025 at 12:59pm ESTGT3drake (9) Seller 0@BabyBenzFan Thank you for the kind words! We agree, it’s getting harder and harder to find these low mileage W201’s. Hoping we get some good action toward the end of the auction! Spread the word! September 8th, 2025 at 12:56pm ESTGT3drake (9) Seller 0@rsmith86 The door panels are the same color as the seats:. They are grey/blueish whereas the plastic on the bottom of the front and passenger doors is more grey. Same with the bottom of the door jam is also grey. We can store the car for you for a few weeks. September 8th, 2025 at 12:53pm ESTBabyBenzFan (22) 0No offense to the bidders but the bids for this car are offensively low. The odds of finding another W201 as clean as this one with less than 100,000 miles are rare and getting rarer by the day.September 8th, 2025 at 9:26am ESTrsmith86 (0) 0Also is there anyway for you to store in for a few weeks?September 8th, 2025 at 9:26am ESTrsmith86 (0) 0Are the door panels blue or grey?September 6th, 2025 at 11:45pm EST$3,000 bid placed by @JantonSeptember 6th, 2025 at 1:37pm ESTGT3drake (9) Seller 0Thanks for stopping by! This 190E just got brand-new tires, brakes, and A/C compressor—all done in 2025. Runs like a dream and ready for its next chapter. Any questions, I’m happy to answer!
