I'm considering a beater 2.3 gasser 190E from 1987 for Winter use. Does
anyone have one and can speak for it? It has 87k miles.
The 300D is officially off the road (salty NE and SNOW yesterday!)

Not a W124 by any means, but not bad. The are a bit cramped, but
otherwise similar. No major problems at 87,000 miles except rear links
and swaybar mounts.

If you plan to drive in snow/ice in a W201, put 150-200 lb in the trunk!

How is the 201 ride? I've been reading on them and it seems that the
suspension is similar if not nearly equal. I can live with the reduced room
inside, but want a nice ride. I also like the 2.3 because there is room to
work under the hood (as there is with my diesel)
