Boring colors, and given the location you'd want to be sure to understand what "some rust spots" might be glossing over. But might be a decent daily driver? https://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/d/palos-hills-1996-mercedes-benz-e300/7341462020.html Allan ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
[MBZ] 1996 E300
Hello Friends, I have a friend with more money than I do who is looking at the /1996-1998 E class diesels/. Am I wrong to be telling him that MB diesels are wonderful and he is going to love them? I warned him that the '96 non turbo would be slow, but as far as reliability and what we have all come to expect from our 123's and 124's, do these compare? Are they a quality item? I personally have been toying with the idea of getting a 190 2.6 gasser for a third car here, along with my question about the later Diesels above, anybody have a 190? Opinions? Thanks John Peterson 1991 300D 2.5 84k Kingston, RI

I believe the 24v NA engine is between the 90-93 2.5 and '87 3.0
as far as acceleration goes. And not a hint of turbo lag.
The 24v intercooled turbo ('98-99) is quite quick for a pre CDI diesel.

The only 190 I've driven is my 16v. Although the 16v is entertaining,
it should be observed that MBUSA rated the 2.6 at 162hp and the 16v
at 167hp. Both require premium. The 2.6 is a heavy engine in a W201,
but on the other hand, the 16v has the heaviest chassis in the W201
lineup so that should even out. My stick shift 16v weighs almost
exactly (within 20lb) as much as my automatic '87 2.5 turbodiesel,
due to the bigger wheels, fancy seats, spoilers and fender flares,
and SLS. It's going to be a hefty little car if I ever get around
to intercooling my 2.5 turbo and sticking it in the 16v car.
