This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E is finished in black over gray MB-Tex and is powered by a 2.6-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes an electric sunroof, a power antenna, 15″ alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power-adjustable seats, and an Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo.
