190E cossie

Recommended Posts

Listing prices are very high - these are likely to hang around for a while.

The 2.5 is a truly superb car.

60k sounds like a figure they sold it for in their dreams

There is another in Aucks with less than 50k kms up asking around $60ish. Same colour as the Christchurch car.

A far heavier car than the M3, and they drive solidly on the road, no wonder aficionados nicknamed Mercedes "The Hammer"

The plus for us here in NZ is that these cars are RHD, and as Matt rightly points out > than $30k cheaper than E30 M3's currently on the market.

Yeah, there's a reason for that.

That's fighting talk! ;)

Having driven both, there is a solidity to the 190E that the E30 lacks, but the E30 can feel more agile. (I'm talking 2.3/2.5-16v vs 'ordinary' M3. The Evo, Evo2, Cecotto, etc versions of each vehicle were refined and more focused versions.)

Yeah Mercedes was always the higher quality and more refined ride back then but that why ive never liked the concept of them, that and the W201 looks weird to me with tacked on sporty bits. The E30 was far more natural looking.
