I don't like them, but to throw my tw0 penneth in. don't be fooled into thinking a 2 litre will be better on fuel than a bigger one. I think the 4 cylinder powered ones have the M102 engine in them. my old W123 200 was a slow thirsty beast, but my current 230 is much quicker and uses less fuel. applying that logic to a W201 I think you'd be better off buying a 2.3.

Trouble is, the 2.3 8v 190E was never officially imported into this country, the only 2.3 here is the 16v one, which is a nice engine indeed, but sadly bumps the price of the vehicle up somewhat!
The 2.6s aren't too bad on juice, expect 23-25 round town and 30ish on a sub 80mph run if it's in fine fettle!

I vaguely remember seeing an article on pimped 190's a few years back - IIRC the company was called RudeMercs - seemd that everything they produced was in Jamaican Yardie Ganster stylee - Big Wheels Loud paint Tints etc - all very 80's Miami Vice bad taste. I have no Idea if they still exist - any one else remember them?

Oh yeah, I remember rude mercs! Might have been on top gear or something. I just remember seeing lurid Evo replicas.

My mate (2002gimp on here) has got a very nice 2.0 Auto for sale for £900 (prob a few pages back in the For Sale page now!), but he's in Tenerife until Friday.... He's in Burton on Trent, East Midlands if it's any help...
