- 190e/d
Hi, this is my first forum post and I was hoping for some insight into the w201 Mercedes 190e/190d.
I have had a golf MKV 1.6 fsi for almost a year now (no idea how i managed to find decent insurance as an 18 year old) and I honestly haven't had a single issue with the car, it runs beautifully.
But I can't deny my lust for a 190e and eventually the beautiful w114.
I was hoping for some insight into the 190e/190d, I honestly don't know what I'm looking for so I'd like some help from some of the more experienced owners.
First of all I wanted to mention would much prefer the 190d due to it being more reliable and economical (i'm a student and don't care for driving fast, i'm the low and slow kinda guy). I'm not expecting any amazing prices for insurance (which is frustrating because it's not like it's a golf R or a high end sports car) but going by normal rules i believe the 2.0 diesel would be better suited to me.
I'm just really struggling to find something that isn't going to ruin my (already low) bank account.
I was planning on selling my golf for one. so my budget will probably be around £2k.
What kinds of issues am I trying to avoid?
What kinds of things should I look out for?
And finally what would be better suited to insurance companies the petrol or diesel?
Any advice would be appreciated
