Looking for a 1985 European Model 190E 2.3-16? Then you might want to give this Mercedes a thorough rundown.

The Euro-specked sedan is equipped with a 2.3-liter 16-valve Cosworth-developed engine with 185 horsepower that’s mated to a dogleg-pattern 5-speed Getrag manual transmission, as highlighted in a Bring a Trailer report about the Craigslist find.

The mid-size Mercedes, which the seller says has been recently upgraded with $6K in parts, has under 100K miles on the odometer and is priced at $21K. Of course, that’s according to the owner. Other features include a Blue-black paint combination, a special body kit, and new European spec Bosch headlights.

The car is also fitted with the original 15-inch wheels with new tires. And the factory-standard self-leveling rear suspension has been swapped for a leveled-spring system. The interior appears to be in pretty good condition, and features cloth seats and a clean dashboard. Although, the right front power window apparently needs repairing.

We also suspect that the Benz might be in need of a few more repairs, but we can’t imagine it’d be too much. Then again, you know how Craigslist can be.
