This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6 shows California history beginning with its first Carfax entry in 1992 and was acquired by the current owner through The MB Market in October 2024. Finished in Smoke Silver Metallic (702) over Creme Beige MB-Tex (175), power is provided by a naturally aspirated 2.6-liter M103 inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes Euro-market headlamps and tail lamps, a power sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, automatic climate control, an aftermarket head unit, and aftermarket remote locking. Under prior ownership, the car received a repaint and head-gasket replacement in 2023, followed by a transmission rebuild in March 2024. The seller reports all fluids were changed in October 2026. The odometer shows 153,046 miles, approximately 4k of which have been added during current ownership. This 190E is now offered by the owner in Falls Church, Virginia with two keys, two remote fobs, factory literature, tools, floor mats, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.

The exterior is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic (702) with contrasting lower body cladding. A repaint performed in 2023 under prior ownership included the upper body, front and rear bumpers, and rear quarter-panel cladding, while the door cladding, front fender cladding, and side skirts were reportedly left original. Exterior features include Euro-market headlamps with integrated fog lamps, Euro-market tail lamps, a chrome grille, and a power tilt-and-slide sunroof. Minor cosmetic imperfections are noted, and detailed exterior photographs are provided in the gallery.

Silver-finished 15" Gullideckel alloy wheels wear Michelin X-Tour tires measuring 195/65 at all four corners. The tires were installed in March 2024 under prior ownership. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with anti-lock assistance. The Carfax documents lower control-arm replacement in 2019, an alignment in February 2024, and wheel-bearing service along with replacement of wheel fasteners in January 2026. A full-size spare is housed beneath the trunk floor.

The cabin is upholstered in Creme Beige MB-Tex (175) with coordinating carpets and door panels, a contrasting dark dashboard, and Zebrano wood trim. Equipment includes power-adjustable front seats, a folding front armrest, power windows, automatic climate control, cruise control, an aftermarket head unit, and aftermarket remote locking. Mercedes-Benz 190E-branded floor mats line the footwells. One of the passenger-seat adjustment switch knobs has detached, and the passenger-side door-sill trim is loose. The seller reports all equipment to function, including the air conditioning, sunroof, windows, power seats, stereo, and remote locks.

The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. A digital outside-temperature display is positioned below the instrument cluster. The six-digit odometer shows 153,046 miles, approximately 4k of which have been added by the seller over two years of ownership.

The naturally aspirated 2.6-liter M103 inline-six was factory rated at 158 horsepower and 152 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 722.4 four-speed automatic transmission. The previous auction documented a head-gasket replacement in 2023 and a transmission rebuild in March 2024, along with replacement of the starter, muffler, alternator, ignition components, and various seals. Prior work also included a brake-booster rebuild and air-conditioning service. More recent Carfax entries document an oil and filter change, serpentine belt replacement, and wheel-bearing service in January 2026, followed by a battery replacement in May 2026. The seller reports an all-fluid service in October 2026. Physical service records are not included with the current sale.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage, 20 service history records, and history in California and Virginia. The car passed a Virginia safety inspection in October 2026. Included with the sale are two keys, two remote fobs, factory literature, the factory tool kit, floor mats, and a car cover. The car carries a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.
