E220 1992 2.2
Hi,

Hope all is well.
I have visited this forum many-a-time looking for advice and tips.

I have now taken the plunge and got myself a 1992 E220 Coupe.

Hopefully collecting it tomorrow. [I will post a photo when I get one]

This is my first MB, but a family member has had a few and loves them. Think I do/will do too.

First, utter newbie question...
I have been looking at getting a Coupe for about a year, but when I went to get this one, they advertised it as a E220. But most of the ones I have been looking at are 220CE or 230CE's.
What, if there is any, is the difference?

OK...
Look forward to learning and sharing over the coming years.

Cheers.

Hello and welcome, the coupes are all CE and sometimes the numbering does change like this 124.060 200 CE / E 200

Thanks.
Nice to hear from you.

I was close to getting a 190, my Uncle had one, bought it brand new from Germany and drove it back, in the early 1990's. Then he had a couple of 230TE's, which he spoke highly of, now he's moved on to CLK's, which he's on his second. I must admit, I do prefer 2 doors though. :)

Didn't get the car today.
The back, driver's side, window didn't work, so they are waiting for the part to fix it before I pick it up.

Probably Thursday before I get it now.

Thanks again.
