Deceased father's 190e worth keeping? (With pictures)
So... My father passed away last month and now I have his 190e and she need's a bit of work.
Here's the list:
- Suspention is soft (Front)
- Transmision mount (old and worn)
- Front speakers are crackling
- Some rust on the hood (near the front lights)
It's not a big list but it's an old 1993 2.3l with 190 000km. I was thinking of keeping it for my daughter, she needs a car for University. The car drives great and it's amost in mint shape.
Thinking of upgrading some things on the 190e:
- H&R's Touring Cup Suspension Kit (From TireRacks)
- Suspention Bushing(s)
- Sound System and speakers
- Getting the rust fixed
He's my dilemma, fix my dad's car even if it's an older car but it's still a mercedes or buy new base model VW Jetta?
Thanks for the input!

Sorry to hear about your father!
About the 190E, the list seems very simple and if you are mechanically inclined you can fix this car up yourself! In my opinion I would keep the 190E, fix it up and use it for whatever purposes you would need it for. The list does not seem big and doesn't look like there are any major problems with the car so your daughter should be fine driving it to university.
