I have an 86 190E 16V with 55K one owner miles for sale

I just bought this car and intend to sell it and make a couple of bucks. The car is very clean, it needs some very very minor details corrected. The push button on the end of the handbrake is broken, the radio head is not working and the small gray hood release that pops out when you open the hood is broken.

The car also has an aftermarket set of rims which while they work are simply unaccpetable on this very pristine car.

If anyone is interested I would sell the car today for $9500 prior to fixing these items. I will be hunting for an OEM wheel set and fixing those trim pieces and then putting the car up on ebay to see what it might bring.

The car is dead straight, very very clean, had sheepskins since day one. If you are looking for a really nice example you might have a hard time finding one nicer. I will post pics after its detailed.

Just a note, I have not even washed it yet. I am going to pull out the floor mats and pull off the seat covers and give it a little cleaning and will post some more pics.

The car is in Phoenix. I would also like to point out the car sustained some damage on the lower left rear passenger door and left rear wheel well. It was superficial and those two body cladding pieces were replaced.

My mechanic looked at it yesterday and will be replacing a fuel accumulator but says it is otherwise in excellent condition.

Very nice car

Holy First Aid Kit. Looks like you could perform surgery right on the side of the road with that kit
