You should consider importing one from overseas seeing as they're over the 25 year mark. Take a look on ebay UK and yahoo auctions. A lot more to choose from than the few beaters left in this country.

Glad to hear it. They're fun cars. I loved my Cossie. Definitely on the "must own before you die" list. The first listing (MWCC) did not give a VIN number, so be sure to verify the carfax is clean and the miles check out. Same with the private seller of the grey 190. The gold example from VordermanVW does have a clean carfax, and the miles are okay. Only one item stands out to me, and that's there is no history on it from 1992 until 2008.
I just checked UK ebay. There are three: a hacked up EVO II replica; a 6k original mile, overpriced museum piece; and another with over 130k miles. None of which are worth the importation hassle.
I did not check on cars.com or autotrader.com. Do check those websites, as their listings don't always come up on google searches. Good luck with the hunt!

New, old Mercedes and REAL AMG's.
They had two classic car experts at this year's Startech; both with Hagerty.
They said they expected prices on the Porsche built 500E and the Cosworth engineered 190E's to skyrocket soon (personally, I believe it is already happening)
Their message was clear: Get one while you can!

+1. You could buy a beater in running confition for $2k just a year ago. Not anymore.

Prices on the 16Vs have started to rise over the last year.
The very good to excellent condition cars are worth the extra money IMO, this is true for both the 16V and the 500E; I own examples of both cars.
