Toying with the idea of selling my 190E Normally I’ll have a good idea of what to sell most cars at This one is a bit harder , prices seem to fluctuate for these between 800 and 5000!! This one is absolutely spot on mechanically and bodywork wise, no rust or damage anywhere, mint interior and drives like a dream, On nice staggered amg wheels long mot and full service history Thinking on £3500??? Anyone have any experience or opinions on this please? It’s a 1.8 auto, I was informed these were sluggish This one isn’t! And returns about 40 mpg

That is a good looking car sir, I'm more up on w124's but if it's as good as it looks the minimum I'd take would be £3000.
Can you post more details please?

I think you have possible price it a little low Dan , i would have gone for 4k and accept £3500.
You just don't see cars like that in that condition anymore , plus the extras of wheels etc .

Thanks chaps As with all old cars there are a couple of bits that need doing, heater blower needs replacing and the sunroof has stopped working it needs a motor which I may well replace shortly, that is all it’s virtually near mint I’m very fussy with cars and never buy anything that’s been welded or needing welding, the underbody is like new it’s had a new rear exhaust all new tyres, and a full service less than 150 miles ago If someone wanted to go the concours route this car is ideal it’s genuinely that good I’ve just ordered new rear shocks which I will fit hopefully next weekend

As with all old cars there are a couple of bits that need doing, heater blower needs replacing and the sunroof has stopped working it needs a motor which I may well replace shortly, that is all it’s virtually near mint It's very nice indeed. With 130+K miles I think you're in the right ball park at £3½K but you'll probably have to put those sundry niggles to bed to realise that. In your position I'd echo skylinedave's advice and start off at £3,995 with a view to progressively dropping the price if needed. If you're in no rush you could even start off at £4½K although I have noticed prices in general are more depressed of late. It is worth bearing in mind that the modifications you've carried out, although very tasteful, could potentially be offputting to the purist. (The flip side of the coin is that there will be people who'll really love it). We're heading into show season, pop a 'for sale' sign in the window!

To obtain that kind of price, you'll need some more original wheels IMO. The wheels are desirable in themselves, sell them separately or offer them to the buyer.

The original rims will go with the car If I get the right price settled on advertising it at £3795
