I will be available to answer any questions.March 30th, 2023 at 9:16am EST$34,000 bid placed by @kyangMarch 30th, 2023 at 8:51am EST$32,000 bid placed by @GreenbrierCCMarch 29th, 2023 at 9:13pm ESTEnzoturbo (7) Seller 0@wilhit10 Car was in Virginia and North Carolina most of its life. Since I have had it it has been in my garage and we didn't get 1 inch of snow last year.March 29th, 2023 at 5:25pm ESTwilhit10 (0) 0It’s a shame this one has seen some salt/snow in its life, as otherwise it’d be a 10. Then again, since it’s not, the car can be driven and enjoyed.March 29th, 2023 at 1:51pm ESTJim_Rosenthal (96) 1This was NOT the car which sold on BaT within the last month. That is a different car with a different VIN.March 28th, 2023 at 9:24am ESTEnzoturbo (7) Seller 0@kyang YesMarch 28th, 2023 at 9:19am ESTEnzoturbo (7) Seller 0@Ntrepid No March 28th, 2023 at 8:27am ESTkyang (1) 1Forgot to ask, but all the emission stuff is there right? March 28th, 2023 at 8:12am ESTNtrepid (5) 1Are the EVO rims which were on the car when you bought it included in the sale?March 24th, 2023 at 7:14am ESTLuckysDad (3) 3I know the seller well have seen this and his other cars in person. He has owned dozens of MBs over the years and is always meticulous in maintaining them. This particular car shows even better in person. I have no doubts the mileage to be correct. The winning bidder will not be disappointed. March 23rd, 2023 at 4:38pm ESTEnzoturbo (7) Seller 3Hi everyone, thanks for looking at the auction for this incredible 190E Cosworth. I know the prior public auction of this car stated that “ The speedometer was repaired in March 2011 and the instrument cluster was repaired in October 2012, thus total mileage is unknown”, however, I purchased the car from that auction feeling confident that the documentation clearly showed the mileage to be true. The documentation I used to arrive at this decision is all provided in the gallery for the current auction and it shows the following documented mileages on inspection reports or other repair orders prepared by a third party: 8/10/2007- 21,974 1/12/2008- 22,235 3/09/2009- 25,602 6/03/2010- 27,511 3/09/2011- 27,886 Therefore, in my opinion, there is no reason to believe the true mileage is “unknown” and I believe the condition of the car supports that thesis strongly. We all know that the gears sometimes break on older, analog MB odometers and my personal belief is that IF this one broke, it was promptly repaired by the prior owner based on the incremental mileage(s) documented throughout its life and the lack of an aberrational “low mileage” period. The mileage increase(s) are extremely consistent throughout the life of the car. Again, I bought this car feeling very comfortable that the actual miles are showing on the car now and the condition of the car upon receiving it confirmed that belief for me. I encourage any other bidders to bid with the same confidence. This is an excellent example with thorough records and it’s a joy to drive. I also encourage anyone to come look at the quality of this car. I will make myself available. Thanks and GOOD LUCK!March 23rd, 2023 at 3:37pm ESTWANNAALLCARS (15) 1Seller owes nobody any explanation as to why they are reselling. You don't want the car do to that reason move on but getting into how the other bidder would have wanted the car??? Come on. I have zero issue with pointing out past auction as its public. getting back to the facts the lack of supporting info or bidders view of the TMU is what hurt last auctions final sale price. Beautiful car and they are getting rarer with low miles.March 23rd, 2023 at 8:49am EST993tats (12) 0Would also like to better understand why TMU Enjoy! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8edfo_8LdOU March 23rd, 2023 at 12:58am ESTTheAMGKit (37) 0low mileage - tmu im confusedMarch 22nd, 2023 at 1:57pm EST993tats (12) 0Correct - this example sold on BAT in Sept 2022 There was a different 190 2.3 16v that sold recently on BAT - it was a west coast car… check the vin, not the same carMarch 22nd, 2023 at 1:49pm ESTkyang (1)
