These cars are rarely seen on Ebay or through private sales and for the most part are known only to the true Mercedes-Benz faithful. This is not your run-of-the-mill 190e! Having run the VIN while on a trip to Germany at the main Mercedes dealership in Berlin, their technical staff presumed not many of the original 700 units are still on the road and consider this model a very affordable but yet substantial “Collectible” in the U.S. and Canada.

The interiors Recaro style leather sport seats accommodate4 passengers. The leather is black with red leather panel inserts and red piping. The front seats have normal wear with no tears and the bolsters are decent too. The back seats were rarely used. All power windows (new motors), power sunroof, power antenna, cruise control, climate control, power adjustable front seats and power hydraulic door, trunk and gas door locks are all functional. All components of the AC system are also relatively new, i.e. compressor, evaporator/dryer, condenser and dash solenoids.

The mileage, as confirmed with the previous owner, was interstate highway driving 90% of the time between Orlando and Gainesville Florida. In my opinion, the car can truly be driven anywhere. Normal things like battery, cooling system including radiator, tires etc are fairly new as well. Since owning the car for the past 10 years it has been garage kept. It has been painted once due to clear coat fading 10 years ago. Any repairs or maintenance during my ownership has been through a reputable exotic car repair facility in my area. I would consider a possible trade for the same year (93) MB SL or Cadillac Alante in similar condition. Feel free to email me with any questions. The car is available for inspection prior to sale and will also be listed for sale locally.
