I will paint meter the entire car and upload measurements on Monday! Thank you JoeOctober 24th, 2025 at 1:56pm ESTJoeyBenz08 (4) 0Any repainted panels? Thanks JoeOctober 23rd, 2025 at 11:11pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) 1My girlfriend isn't so hot on manuals but loves an auto W201. Would look so good next to her 190E Avantgarde Rosso and E63 wagon. I guess I'm going to send her this listing and subliminally brainwasher her to bid on this. October 23rd, 2025 at 3:53pm ESTrefusedname (26) Seller 0Hello @MBFahrer, I don’t recall seeing any fading on the grille, nor can I locate it in any of the photos in the gallery. Since all photos are numbered, please let me know which specific picture you’re referring to. Regarding storage — when I purchased the car, it was kept under a car cover (included with the sale) in the seller’s garage. Since then, it has always been stored in my personal garage and has never spent a night outside. I’ll record a full walkaround video on Monday when I return to Miami to show the condition of the paint and grille in detail. Thank you! October 23rd, 2025 at 1:18pm ESTMBFahrer (34) 0How much time has this car spent outside? Lots of fading on the grille, top of the front bumper, door handles, plastic roof trim, etc. 33k miles should be a total time capsule. The engine bay looks like somebody went crazy with greasy detail spray too.

Thank youOctober 22nd, 2025 at 10:46am ESTrefusedname (26) Seller 1@95Cab, thank you for your questions. This 190E 2.3-16V has been part of a large Mercedes-Benz collection since 2018. I’ve added only about 650 miles during my ownership. The car was serviced in 2018 ($4,953.66), again in 2019 ($1,533.58), in 2022 ($190), and most recently in 2025 ($1,252). It was never exposed to snow while in Minneapolis for a few months before permanently moving to Miami in 2019. I’ll post a driving video and detailed suspension photos once I return to Miami on Monday, 10/27. Here’s a short list of minor items needed to make the car perfect: * The plastic trim on the left side of the instrument panel has a crack. * The A/C is somewhat weak. It was recharged two weeks ago; I’ll check again when I’m back. If it’s not holding a charge, the next owner may want to locate and fix the leak. Otherwise, this is an excellent, low-mile example of a well-cared-for 190E featuring the legendary Cosworth powerplant. As for why I’m selling — I’ve reached a point where managing 10
