I have one and no you can't have it.
Be prepared to GAG when you see 190D prices. I paid just under $3k for mine and
it needed work. Since then fuel prices have risen so I expect its more valuable
now.
In retrospect I should have bought the 2 owner '84 I passed on at $4k, it had
less than 200,000 miles...
In the winter my car gets 35-37mpg, top in the summer was 43. I've been driving
really fast lately so only getting around 38....

Who has a 190D 2.2 5 spd. they want to sell? We want to buy. That's the
headline, now I'll provide background:
Thoughts have turned this weekend to looking for a vehicle. We have
been
wanting to get something better than the 21 - 25 MPG Honda CRV we have.
We
have been thinking for some time about finding a 190D with manual
tranny. *It
is the 2.2 engine that gets the better mileage, is that right?*
After finding one and talking with the owner on the phone, we are not
very
comfortable. How many of you can relate to trying to communicate with a
seller who, when you say you're calling about the car for sale, they
say
"yeah?", or "ok?". Then you have to proceed to pry any information from
them
and they speak only when prodded to, and then only in one sentence or
shorter answers, and almost in English (oh, and when asked twice what
his
name was, he chose Mike).
This guy claims the car was given to him by a friend. He's had it
"about a
year". He was apparently unaware of the body damage clearly visible in
the
photos he posted. He claims to have records, but when asked, said they
consist of "oil change". I could go on.
BUT, I am now turning, to you in search of intelligent honesty. So who
has a
190D 2.2 5 spd. they want to sell me?

don't think my Chiauhauh's would make very good sled dogs - unless you had a
couple thousand of them maybe. ;-)
