Are you located in Ft. Myers by any chance?
As an FYI, I might be selling an extremely rare, Euro Spec (lighter, more powerful) 190E 2.3-16V Cosworth, babied, FULLY DOCUMENTED, with only 50k miles on the clock.
Haven't decided yet, but I own three 190E's at this point, plus five other cars and I've been thinking about downsizing for a while.

Hi, I'm north of Ft Myers by 45 minutes. I'm old and only want an automatic. Is it an automatic?

Oh my gosh that 190 is beautiful. It looks brand new, as though it had just drove off the lot.
I must say it looks as though you time travelled, brought it brand new right away, and brought it back to the future in it's " brand new" condition.
Very Nice

Jerry the car has been at Avenue Garage in Port Charlotte for a month
The dealer in NY was not very truthful and the auto inspection service out of Ft Lauderdale was incompetent and, well......I will write a story about it when done. I am spending thousands of dollars on this car right now that was not disclosed. But what a beauty. Here's a preliminary image, from the dealer in NY

The car has a neat history to it. A genuine "New Yawker" with a brand new inspection sticker in the window which I'm going to leave.
Real leather interior from the factory:

Tudo, that is beautiful! The color is pretty rare around here. I sold my 1987 Volvo 740GLE 2 years ago, and I do miss the lines and inherent beauty of those years (in some marques).
Actually, my comment about "selling it already" was directed at Mercsdude and his 190E Cosworth. He's promised to bring it to the MBCA SWFL breakfast meeting at Perkins in Naples on June 28th.
You are welcome to join us! 9:00 am, Perkins, PINE RIDGE ROAD EXIT, just east of I75, a bit of a drive for you.
But, we also meet on the second Saturday of every month at Mimi's in Ft Myers, Daniels Rd./41, 8:30 am. That's closer for ya.
Fun club. I'd be happy to sponsor you, too! (Mention EditorJerry!)

Please ask Anita to be prepared to drive herself home while her husband stays outside playing with his bro's like neighborhood kids with a new bicycle.

On Hemmings for $14,950?
There is an ad for this car on Hemmings right now for $14,950. I wonder if Tudo's deal fell through or if someone is flipping it. Old ad maybe?

Right now I kinda feel discouraged in to buying a 190D 2.5 right now. Don't get me wrong I love that car, but I'm afraid of buying one, and ending up putting lots of $$$ when things like ball joints and control arms start going bad, just like I did with my pick up truck that's 25 years old.
How much do you think a good 190d would cost, assuming the owner took great care of the car and did recent ball joint and control arm, valve timing, and an oil change?
