[MBZ] MSRP for 1986 190D

[John Berryman]

	Anyone know what the MSRP was on 190Ds? . I'd like to see prices on 
all years 1984 right on up but am particularly interested in the cost 
of my 1986 190D 2.5 its a Euro grey market jammy.

Does anyone still have a window sticker?

how does an economy that makes nothing survive?  I'm a simple fella 
and that

question has me worried


You weather the storm until there are no more 'grass hut' economies.
If we do our part, churning out popular culture that gets exported
to everywhere, pretty soon everywhere will be like us.  Then there's
no problem anymore, and the transportation and language issues can
again drive production back home.

Johnny,

From Bob Nitske's book:

1983 190D 2.2 (on East Coast)   $23,510
1985 190D 2.2 (on West Coast)   $23,810
1986 190D 2.5 (on East Coast)   $23,700
1987 190D 2.5 Turbo (on East Coast) $29,800

1985 190D 2.5 in Germany			DM33,915   (you will have to see what the  
DM vs $ was in '85)


Hope this helps.

Take care,
Chuck

I used to figure 3:1 in 1984/85. And a lot of used cars had the
same price over there as over here. Auto Motor und Sport classifieds
were great reading. A Citroen SM might run $10k or DM10k in the
mid-1980's. The $6-7000 difference in price should cover shipping
and conversion costs, but I never actually tried it. Old 911s 
were really cheap over there too. 
Even with cloth seats, no A/C or sunroof, crank windows, etc, I
would have liked to pay $12k for a new 190D 2.5 back then. 

The value of the $ went to pot in 1986, and $ to DM ratio went
closer to 2:1. In April '86, the Honda dealer I worked for sold
bikes (retail) for less than we paid for them in June '86. IIRC,
it was a relatively short period of time that the yen went from
1/200th of a dollar to 1/120th.
