you will look like the poorest slav, it's too old to play the reliability card still and it is dangerously slow by now
Hunter Thompson
Why not just finance a nice new new car instead? Like a Dacia or a Hyundai.
They even have klimate conditions and front disc brakes now.
Jayden Rodriguez
BIODEGRADABLE
Nathan Turner
W124 is better
Julian Mitchell
Why? Overall quality or has the 190 certain weakpoints one should know about? Not op but also in the market for an old benz.
Owen Moore
Don't do it bro.
James Peterson
If you wanna rape your finance at least get a slk500 or 350/320. Or a C-class post 2000
Justin Cooper
This fucking thread...
Don't take the bait OP.
Cooper Russell
do it
Robert Rivera
But they don't have charisma... or class
Nathaniel Wilson
I like the coupe version, but it's very rare
Nathan Williams
Only if you don't have plans for putting a proper jap engine innit
Jaxson Morgan
there's a few S class for sale here, but they ain't very fine, they could became a money pit
Jose Lewis
that's actually interesting, source?
Connor Gray
the poorest slavs drive BMWs with white stripes
Austin Rodriguez
Liam Bailey
thanks!
Austin Johnson
Jayden Wright
It's bigger. Otherwise same build quality, many shared parts, same drivetrain, same seats, etc
Isaac Hughes
Fuck off
Only in the mid 90s, but OP beware of this for similar models.
True. But 190 is still great.
190 just generally cheaper. Smol. Less power. Etc etc. Downmarket is all.
Fuck off.
Juan Wood
93 onwards is the soy wiring.
w189 was already replaced by C-Klasse and W124 was in phase 2 with the OM604/605/606 DOHC engines and electronic controlled Injection Pump and now called E-Klasse
Ian Taylor
>Fuck off
So you're a poorfag and you have no imagination, you should consider purchasing a pistol with the intention of offing yourself
Josiah Flores
>he doesn't know about the M104 literally directly swapping into a 2.6 190E and being able to take 900 horsepower on stock internals.
Fuck off with your meme chink shit.
Thomas Myers
>meme chinkshit
Right, which is why you see MB straight 6s swapped in everything right? Stupid shit
Justin Sanchez
dont buy it
Jose Smith
There's only one 190E you should be buying.
Logan Richardson
W220 chassis is pretty good if the suspension has already been replaced. All other faults are very cheap to prevent, but very expensive if you do not.
Eli Thomas
Why would you swap it when it's already in the perfect car.
Jayden Price
>perfect car
The 190E or the Chaser? I mean the Chaser is the perfect car
Liam Nguyen
I found a very cheap 190D:
1989
1.749€
430.000 kms
Jacob Rodriguez
Ayden Taylor
Leo Morris
Caleb Edwards
>2.5-16
>2.5-16 EVO
>2.5-16 EVO II
I mean, 1 of those is unobtanium, but don't say just the one.
Cameron Morales
Are you serious?
Same goes for a fucking 80's corolla these days but it's not like they're bad cars because of it.
Ryder Johnson
>star on the steering wheel is misaligned
wouldn't buy, she's fucked m8
Michael Richardson
get an evo II wing for it off ebay
Parker Hernandez
>Convince me not to buy this
I can't
buy it
It's bigger
I had one before I got my Focus, it's no difference in slowness
But the Focus is not fast either
And the 190E is reliable
I guess the diesel is very slow though
Nolan Butler
Cool pic buddy
Josiah Rogers
if you can find one thats not completely knackered then whatever, but having driven a handful of these they're giant pieces of shit.
Parker Davis
>I guess the diesel is very slow though
It's not slow.
The gears are meant to be closed when accelerating. Most people shift too early.
There is a yellow indicator on the speedometer to inform you when to shift.
1st at 40km, 2nd at 70km, 3rd at 110km, 4th is 140km.
Alexander Martinez
Don't try to use a car that old as a daily driver man. It won't end well. That goes for any car. If it's a second car then fine, knock yourself out. But if that's the case then I'd get a two-door version.
Daniel Wood
>dangerously slow by now
What the fuck does this even mean? It's not like you need to accelerate to 60 in 6 seconds in order to be able to keep up with traffic.
Wyatt Hill
Wrong. Some old cars, notably Mercedes and Toyotas, are if anything more reliable than new cars, not less, at least if they have been reasonably well maintained and/or restored. Do you know shit about shit?
Jason Gray
it was called baby benz for a reason.
MBs first try at a downmarket car before the cursed a class
Owen Wilson
Ask yourself. Why do you want this car? It is a meme. It's old, slow, doesn't handle well and it is objectively shit in every way. The only 190e worth having is the cosworth and even then, E30 BMW's are god tier in comparison.
I mean, if you like it that much then go ahead. However, I assure you that you will be disappointed. Having said that, it's still better than most modern shit boxes because it will have character.
Point is, why do you have to ask Veeky Forums? If you truly want a 190e then get one, although I suspect you only desire the illusion that Veeky Forums has provided you.
Juan Peterson
It probably means overtaking, which is kind of difficult to do with a non turbo diesel ar cruising rpm especially if you're used to just putting your foot down and having the car do the rest.
With a Diesel Mercedes you need to be in the correct gear and above 2500rpm and you will not have any problems overtaking.
Jaxon Gray
Bruh I own a w203 2001 and pay like 50 euros a month
Julian Peterson
Okay, I have to admit, I only thought of the 2.0 liter diesel when I wrote that post. It's not ultra slow, but certainly not fast.
I would get a 2.5 liter if possible
thanks
>objectively shit in every way.
wrong
It's better built than modern shitboxes
It's reliable
It's light
It's easy to work on
It's RWD
There's a bowden cable connecting the gas pedal and the butterfly valve
You have a very good visibility
It's not a boring soulless blob like modern shitboxes
It's simple and doesn't have infotainment bullshit
It looks cool, unlike modern shitboxes
There's a star on the front of the hood

Jaxon Ortiz
wish i could find a cheap one of these around where i live, people are asking like $8000 for these things
Caleb Lewis
An E30 is a better car in nearly every way
Jackson Perry
Almost every 190 that is for sale, the steering wheel the star is misaligned. It shouldn't be hard to fix it... I always wonder why owners don't align them in first place
Juan Parker
It's heavy like a tank and has handling and fuel consumption reflecting that
Owen Ross
They're all in the scrapyard waiting for you
Cameron Hernandez
We're talking about the Mercedes 190, not a Cadillac
