1986 Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth

1986 Mercedes-Benz 190-Series Description

Selling my mercedes 190E 16V

This is a very rare car, and as much as I love it I have to sell it. Wanted to do a complete restoration on it when I bought it, but the car now been sitting for few years now. And I have no time to spare for it. Its a very unique and beautiful car but will require some work to be done to it. The title is clean but it did had some accident in the distant past, on the ebay had to change to rebuilt title since ebay having issues with accident in the past. The engine runs but will need valve adjustment and might need fuel injection checked. I am willing to drive the car to a buyer for a final sale, but that would be last reserve option, and should not be farther than 3-4 hours away from zip 22801 for additional compensation and will require coordination with my available time. Otherwise buyer is responsible for pickup. Payment in cash only. Buyer accepts purchase as is with no returns. Any concerns should be addressed prior purchase.

CONDITION:

Car does have cosmetic defects that you can see in the pictures, the roof's paint has faded out.

There are some dents on both rear quarter panels. Spoiler has typical bubble on the left side. Some other paint defects on the left front door and fender. The interior also has few issues, the cracked dash board was covered with a plastic cover by previous owner. Front passenger seat has one reparable torn, but back rest is all in good condition. The driver seat has two more dramatic torn and crack but back rest also in good condition. The rear seat is very very excellent condition and very soft, including back rest, but on top of the back rest in the middle, leather has slightly dried and now pulling the thread apart. In the engine picture, you can see that the valve cover badges are missing, I have both badges and the spark plug cover. In the interior picture, you can see three gauges missing on the console panel, I have those gauges also.
