Critics Review
The vast disparity in prices between a mint 190 and a rough one reveals how important it is to buy well, so this latest addition to the Essential Buyer’s Guide series is welcome. It covers all aspects of buying and owning the baby Benz, from paint to paperwork, and includes every model, from base diesel to the twin-cam Cosworths. It is a must to pop in the packet when you view a potential purchase. - Classic & Sports Car. This book provides helpful tools in evaluating this car if you are not familiar with them. - Chris Bass Freelance. Great addition to this growing range is this buying guide for Mercedes-Benz 190. Don’t buy this car without a copy. - Practical Classics. Another excellent guide from Julian Parish, covering every 190 model up to and including the 16v cars. Covering everything from ideal specifications for resale through to things to check when buying and options to avoid, the book is vital for anyone looking to buy a 190 of they’re looking for the best. An excellent read … there’s really no excuse not to buy it. Like the W123 book, there’s a comprehensive evaluation and grading system included for those keen to buy. – Mercedes Driver.
