Currently drive a mint mercury mountaineer and am getting a classic Mercedes
New and needing advice!

Hiya!!! I’m from the wonderful state of taxachusetts. And I’m thrilled to be here. So my Issue is this. I have the chance to trade my motorcycle for an old school Benz like I’ve always wanted. I can trade for two and can’t decide which to get. Either a 1991 190e, or a 1995 e420. Both just over 100k, the 190e needs a strut and brakes at some point and the e420 needs a throttle body. I really love these old mercedes, but can’t decide which to give up my motorcycle for. I know the e is worth way more than the 190 all done up but I’m not looking for resale, I’ve just always wanted an old square 90’s Mercedes. Any advise?

Welcome. I would peruse the sub forums for these two cars and see what other people have to say about them. It sounds like the 420 is in a little better shape. If you can check the maintenance histories. The one with the better maintenance history would then probably be my choice.

Wound up going with the w124 and am picking her up Thursday as she needs a throttle body repair and the trunk resprayed. As well as a good maintained history.
