This 190 E has practically "made it to the moon," but looks like it's fresh off the production line.

Read the rest on the MBWorld homepage. >>

Well, I loved it so much after writing about it that I bought it.

More to come!

Looks nice. Did they have pics of the wreck or why the rf door was replace or repaired and why the rear door was not replaced and fender not blended? Sorry to be a stickler (curse of being a body shop estimator, I see every little issue). Love these little cars, its eerie how quiet and smooth they are when driving. Keep us informed on your experience.

It's actually better in person than how it shows up in pictures, especially since I'd pulled those from the original ad. Here's my next update.

BTW, no pictures of wreck, as there wasn't really one. The door looked as though it had something almost fall into it, and shows paint the same age as the rest-of the car so I don't suspect a re-spray ever happened.

P.S. Don't mind the lead image. I didn't have the door all the way latched and only noticed after I was preparing photos for the article. Do'h! It has that delightfully solid "whoomp" sound when you close it (unlike my 209).
