This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 was purchased new by the seller from Leitzinger Imports of State College, Pennsylvania, and it now shows just under 40k miles. The car is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic over black leather and powered by a 2.3-liter inline-four linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional factory equipment includes a sunroof, aerodynamic bodywork, automatic climate control, cruise control, power aLessories, and fog lights, while modifications include H&R sport springs, Koni front struts, and 17″ alloy wheels. Maintenance performed since 2020 included a fluid service, sunroof component repairs, and installation of replacement lower front ball joints and boots.
The exterior is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic (702) and features a front spoiler, a rear spoiler with an integrated third brake light, and body-colored lower cladding. The sunroof switch mount was reportedly repaired and a replacement cable was installed in 2020. The seller reports that dents in the rear quarter panels were repaired, cushioning foam was added inside the trunk, and the panels were repainted in 1997 following damage from an unsecured item in the trunk.
Six-spoke 17″ alloy wheels wear Mercedes-Benz center caps and Yokohama S.drive tires. The car has been lowered with H&R springs at all four corners and is equipped with Koni struts up front and the factory self-leveling suspension out back. Anti-lock disc brakes are fitted with cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. Recent work is said to have included a brake fluid flush and replacement of the front lower ball joints and boots.
The cabin features power-adjustable front seats upholstered in black leather along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets protected by Mercedes-branded floor mats. The car features a European-specification rear seat with headrests, and additional amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, and power aLessories. The Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo is said to have been reconditioned and its alarm cutout has been removed.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a European-specification 8k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and instant economy. The center stack houses a VDO digital lap timer as well as gauges for oil temperature and voltage. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows just under 40k miles. The removed factory tachometer is included in the sale.
The 2.3-liter 16-valve M102 inline-four is equipped with a Cosworth-designed alloy cylinder head and dual overhead camshafts. The car features a muffler from a European-specification 190E 2.3-16, and a test pipe is fitted in place of the catalytic converter. Removed and spare catalytic converters and resonators are included in the sale. The timing chain was replaced in 1997 at 31k miles, and the seller reports that the battery box plate was removed and repainted under current ownership. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller notes a whine from the differential, the fluid for which was flushed in preparation for the sale.
