[Killbill]

Up for sale is a super 1992 Mercedes 190e Auto 2.0 petrol in the best colour Black.
Kitted out in full Carat Duchatelet body kit,sports uprated and lowered suspension and 16" Carat alloys.
Ive owned this 190e since last year and has never let me down starts on the button hot or cold.
It has the following specs.
Colour Black-199 black pearl (Blauschwarz)
143k
4 months mot.
Full Carat body kit fitted from new .
Great set of Carat alloys in the rare 16", fitted with newish Goodyear efficient grip 205/50/16 87w.
The interior is in great shape no rips to the seats .
Drives great the auto box does its job up and down just as it should with S and E modes.

Some picture to keep you interested before i put in the bad bits!!


So on the faults/niggles ect.
The cars diff can whine sometimes not overly loud, and is a common fault on 190s, most 190 owners just live with it.
Some rust starting to show on the c pillar and roof ,due to a blocked sunroof drain pipe. that will need attention at some point.
The car is getting on for 23 years old now so don't expect it to drive like a new car.
It drives fine and is very very usable as a daily as i have been doing.
Motorway driving is a nice experience as is town driving there is a slight steering wobble at around 65mph but soon disappears around 70mph the car will cruise all day at 80-90mph.
The car will be available after the 1st may.
Any Qs let me know ill get back to you

Any more info Pictures ,offers, please get in touch it is advertised on several sites (Excluding F***** Ebay)

[photoangell]

would be the wobble just be wheel balancing needs doing?

[Killbill]

Possibly mate, not sure maybe a worn ball joint.
Iam sure some of the steering parts are original and could do with a spruce up at some point in the future.
Its never bothered me i just drive through it, its from 65-68 ish and disappears above or below that speed.
Ive done several thousand motoway mile in it without fault.
Sits at the right temp.
Oil pressure is bob on.
Cheers

Beautiful motor.

Yet another old Merc for sale on here that I would have been seriously looking at if I hadn't recently bought the CL500.

Good luck with the sale, however I'm sure you won't need it.

The Car is in Manchester not Melbourne, I'm sure Manchester has a railway station......
I'm always kinda confused when cars this nice are not snapped up.
It looks fantastic and to correct the defects wont cost fortunes, come on, this is manky Mondeo money and its a honey!!

So its not been serviced since you've owned it? how many miles has it done since then? is there any history with it? also has the HG been replaced?
