    1984 Mercedes 190D.. Parts? Cost to own? Anyone have experience with?

    Any body parts from the 230E are the same. There are lots of those around for parts. The one you're looking at is a 5 speed. I've had lots of old Benz's and if I had to pick a common weak point it is the automatic transmission. Yes the 2.5 will have more power, but for a grand and great fuel...

    CL finds in BC
