First time MB car owner
Hey all, I just bought a older MB in the form of an 85 190E since the price was insanely good and I wanted to try my hand at owning a mechanical injection car among other factors. The other main reason was I recently got rid of my 92 Saturn (perfect condition, found it in a garage where it sat for 20+ years) since I wasn't really driving it too much and it was worth too much to keep around unused. It was fun but wrong wheel drive so I set out to replace it with something RWD and also small, this 190E came up and I figured why not since I've always heard that the 80s era Mercedes products were made exceptionally well.
This seems to be the case and I'll be documenting the progress over in the W201 section, I hope this car is a permanent part of my fleet!

Welcome!
Find a good indy shop you trust and keep some money on the side for repairs.

Granted 9 cars is a lot to keep up with. Years ago; before children I had 3 cars, a pick up and my wife's car too......there was always something that had to be done lol.
