"I bought this car with 100,000 miles on it for $3,800. It uses premium gas but gets combined 24 mpg average.(I record my mpg every fill up). Its had an oil leak since I bought it, so I put a quart of oil in it every month or so. Its comfortable. It drives great. I can't believe the price KBB says its worth. I wouldn't sell it for anything less than $3,500, and all the other people out there selling this car agree."

"I Love This Car, I just Bought same car, just bumped up to a E320. My Car has never Ever Not Started in the 6 yrs. I've Owned it! The only reason I am selling it, is because when the ck. engine light came on, I'm having a problem getting a smog, today, I will find out what if anything, why the light is on, i have never had any problem with having it pass smog!"

"Outstanding German engineering, this car just keeps running! Never broken down on me, many clean examples for sale online with over 200k MILES on the clock. After production ceased in 1993, Mercedes-Benz admitted this car was over-engineered themselves and has an excellent galvanised chassis with crumple zones. Safe is the word! Very comfortable, try pick one up with leather interior and a front armrest (person preference). It's reassuring to see the three-pointed-star on the bonnet whilst driving this "beast", as my friends call it. Extremely comfortable and would give a modern car a run for its money on the road. Bad point is that after the 20 year mark you may need to repair suspension/track rod ends/shocks, although get one with FSH and you're laughing! Shocks/track rods can be bought for under £100 and mine's not been in a garage yet."

"I've owned my 190e for 3 years and am in love with it. Seriously it amazes me that this car is from 1993 cause it feels, drives and looks like a car from around 1998-2000. Its got power everything from seats to mirrors which is dope. This car also has alot of giddy-up, as I have raced and beaten my friends who all own cars from the late 90's. Pretty much anyone who I have given a ride to comments on the car and wants to know if I will sell it one day. Sadly for all of them, I just laugh and say "not a chance""
