Just sold on MBM for $48,500 + fees, or ~$51k all in, plus transport/etc. That's E500E monies. Seems like a lot considering all the undercarriage surface rust and non-original components (aftermarket cat/exhaust, aftermarket struts, etc etc.)

1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16
Cosworth-Powered W201 with 5-Speed Manual, Low Mileage and Extensive Service
This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is finished in Blue-Black Metallic (199) over Anthracite Leather (271) and is powered by a Cosworth-enhanced 2.3-liter 16-valve four-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes power operated front sport seats with individual rear bucket seats, a power tilt/slide sunroof, aerodynamic bodywork with a rear spoiler, self-leveling rear suspension, central locking, automatic climate control and a Becker Grand Prix radio with bluetooth connectivity. Service records from 2007 are included with the most recent maintenance items consisting of new tires, refinished wheels, new springs and shocks, and new pads and rotors on all four corners. This 190E 2.3-16 now shows 38k miles and is offered for sale by the current owner in Malvern, Pennsylvania with both keys, original manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report and a clean Pennsylvania title.
The exterior is finished in Blue-Black Metallic (199) and features aerodynamic bodywork specific to the 16-valve which included sculpted front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a trunk-mounted rear spoiler. Exterior equipment includes euro-spec headlights with integrated fog lights, a power tilt/slide sunroof, central locking and a power adjustable passenger-side door mirror. The car received a full repaint in 2010 which is documented in the service history. Paint meter readings have been included by the seller and are viewable in the photo gallery.
The factory 15” Gullideckel wheels were refinished under current ownership along with the spare and have been wrapped in a new set of Kumho Ecsta PS31 tires measuring 205/55 on all four corners showing 2022 date codes. Multi-link rear suspension is equipped with hydropneumatic self-leveling struts while four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes are mounted on all four corners. The seller notes that all four pads and rotors were recently replaced along with new springs and shocks.
The cabin is upholstered in Anthracite Leather (271) featuring bolstered sport seats in the front with individual bucket seats in the rear. Zebrano wood trim can be found lining the center console and shows no signs of cracking or fading. Both front seats are power adjustable with the driver side including two-position memory. Additional features include automatic climate control, cruise control and the original Becker Grand Prix radio which was recently retrofitted with bluetooth by Becker AutoSound. The center console features additional instrumentation including an engine oil temperature gauge, an analog voltmeter and a digital stopwatch. The interior trim and upholstery received re-dyeing and repair under current ownership.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer and gauges for fuel level, economy, oil pressure and coolant temperature. A digital outside temperature sensor can be found mounted in the row of warning lights. The six-digit odometer currently reads 38k miles with 300 being added by the current owner over the past six months. Mileage is TMU due to prior repairs to the instrument cluster in 2012.
This W201 is powered by an 2.3-liter M102 engine featuring a Cosworth-developed aluminum cylinder head featuring four valves per cylinder and an increased compression ratio of 9.7:1. These improvements allow the engine to produce 167 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The Carfax first shows mileage reported in 1989 with registration listed in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. No accidents or damage reports are listed. Extensive service history starting in 2007 is included with documents included in the photo gallery below. Now showing 38k miles, this 190E 2.3-16 is offered with both keys, the original manufacturer’s literature, tool kit, first aid kit, a clean Carfax report and a clean Pennsylvania title.
With a new compact model in their lineup, Mercedes saw an opportunity to replace their larger C107 SLC rally cars with a smaller and more nimble package. After creating a rally-spec W201 with legendary engine builder Cosworth, the all-wheel drive Audis began to dominate WRC and made it clear that rear-wheel drive was no longer viable. With an uncompetitive W201, Mercedes decided to instead turn to DTM while also offering a detuned street version known as the 2.3-16. With four valves per cylinder, a dog-leg manual transmission and new aerodynamic bodywork, the 2.3-16 offered a new type of vehicle not traditionally found in the Mercedes lineup. While in today’s market the 2.3-16’s DTM rival, the E30 M3, commands collector-level prices, the W201 has largely flown under the radar. With clean cars being hard to find, collectors are quickly scooping up low mileage examples such as these which are sure to provide serious value. With refinished Gullideckel wheels, the original Becker radio and a binder full of service receipts, this example is as clean as they come and is sure to be enjoyed for years by its lucky new owner.
