This car is definitely overpriced. I'd pay that kind of coin for a nice one, though.

Here's my ode to these puppies:

[...] and he wants some performance. And yet, despite all my pleading, he won’t even look askance at a Merc 190E 2.3 16V (as seen earlier today), or an M3 of any variety. I need to switch this guy off the hard stuff and onto a more tractable [...]

With the original wheels, I would consider it. The 190E Evo II is still one of my favorites around the Gran Turismo Nurburgring.

At $5k, I'd be all over it.

Not so much anywhere near $8500.

Off the production line this was one of the most perfect cars ever. However, this examples whispers of a dirty past and the dangers of undiagnosed hepatitis or genital warts.

"The seller is claiming that there’s only 5,000 miles on the rebuilt motor". With out paperwork to prove when the engine had been rebuilt and at what mileage it had been done at it's hard to justify, remember this isn't just a stock baseline mill here it's a Cosworth. Beyond that for me the grill and wheels are easy enough to change.

Makes me nervous. Somebody must have beaten the living hell out of this car if it needed an engine rebuild that early (Don't Mercedes engines last much longer than that?). Who rebuilt the engine, some hack or someone reputable? And, after going through all that expense, why just sell it? Tranny about to go? Nah, I'd leave it alone.

Crack….well, a bit expensive, maybe. Needs new grille, shifter knob, new (dark gray metallic) paint for those Brabus wheels……

Vulgar Aftermarket Items decided it. High miles, low engine miles: push. 2.3 litre four, 5-speed stick: push.$ 8500k, ugly rims and grill: Pass.
