I am selling my 1986 Mercedes-Benz 2.3-16 Cosworth, Unmodified and Complete! This is a solid, clean car, in very good driver condition. It is original and complete! Here some more pictures: http://s1081.photobucket.com/albums/j349/swissedge/Mercedes%20190E%2016V/?albumview=slideshow High points:Clean title!Solid / Clean car.Sane, virtually no rust at all, no holes, no cancer, no rust repair/treatment needed!180k on chassisEngine was rebuild by the previous owner, but I do not have any documentation receipt for the work, although the local Mercedes mechanic confirmed it.Recently (in September) upgraded to Revised chain tensioner and new cam sprockets installed, all components genuine Mercedes-Benz partsSelf-leveling suspension functions perfectlyCorrect European 2.3-16 leather-wrapped sport steering wheelVacuum locks work flawlesslyTires have about 70% thread left on themUpgraded wheels Things that need attention over time:Front driver seat lumbar has a hole worn leather (about 1 inch diameter). The rest of the upholstery is in very good condition but needs to be conditioned/oiled.Driver rear door panel peeling on topHood need resprayed or touched up to make it perfect, the rest of the paint around the car actually looks really goodRadio has no powerAC / heater fan needs to be replaced (was replaced on 11/23/12, works perfect now)AC needs chargeHard shift into gear when going from "Park" to "R" other then that shifts good Has a couple very fine hairline cracks on dashboard These cars are becoming increasingly rare in this condition, the majority falling into two categories – either perfect show-quality examples creeping up on $15-$20K or ridden-hard, put-away wet beaters in need of major mechanical work for about $3-$4K. This car falls somewhere in-between. It provides performance, rarity, unmatchable history (see:http://www.mb190e16v.com/Templates/Mercedes_the%20car%20body.htm ), pedigree, and an excellent driving experience and looks good without breaking the bank!! Please keep in mind that this is not a new vehicle and that it is sold as-is, where-is with no warrantees implied, stated, or otherwise intended.
