1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6| | Pennant Motors is pleased to present this truly INCREDIBLE 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E2.6. This car is incredibly special. When was the last time you saw one of these in this condition? It has spent its entire life in California, and is in spectacular condition. It is important to note that this car is 100% original, and completely unmolested. It still rides at the stock suspension height, and is free of any modifications. The interior of this car is spectacular. The MB-Tex seats are in very good shape, as is the dash and the carpets. Even the driver's seat is really nice. The car has automatic climate control which works properly. The Air Conditioning functions and is very cold. The original radio is still in place, and works properly with no bown speakers. The power antenna extends and retracts fully. The heated seats work great. All of the power options work properly. Something else that's really cool about this car is that it was originally owned by LucasFilm. The little production company known for such modest productions such as the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. The person whose name is on the paperwork was the VP of THX from 1988-1993. (We found this information with a Google search.) The interior of the 190E is in incredible condition. It has tan MB-Tex seats with beautiful real wood accents on the dash and door panels. It also has a power moonroof. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. The cigarette lighter hasn't even been used, and there is no odor at all. The front seats are both 10 way power adjustible with the controls on the doors. This Mercedes has a drivers airbag -- pretty incredible for 1989! The interiors in these cars wear like iron, and it really shows in the pictures. The materials hold up incredibly well, as do the carpets. The exterior of this 190E 4Matic is in remarkably good condition and truly looks like it's new. It is Smoke Silver in color. This color was in use by Mercedes for several decades and has always been very popular. The exterior of the car is actually in very nice condition -- almost unbelievably so for the year. It's a testiment to how well these early 90s Mercs hold up. Regarding rust, there is NONE. It is completely rust free. The underside and chassis look great as well. The original alloy wheels are in good condition. As I noted above, this car spent its entire life in California, until the owner moved to our area in Erie, PA very recently. It was not driven in the winter by its owner, and was ultimately traded in to our local Mercedes dealership here in Erie. We purchased the car directly from them to offer on ebay.
The Michelin tires are in good shape with plenty of tread remaining. The brakes are in good shape and the car stops as it should. The car has recent PA inspection and emissions stickers. This 190E drives just like you'd expect a Mercedes to drive. It's very smooth, while still handling well. The engine and transmission operate properly. We believe the car has had two owners. The condition of the car is stunning, especially the interior which shows as nearly brand new. |

Since you're bidding, or making an offer, on a car which you may have not seen in person, it is important that a level of trust be established between you, our customer, and us, the dealership. This is why we post between 30 and 60 high-resolution images of every car we sell on ebay. We pride ourselves in having the most detailed, highest resolution images on ebay, and we use the finest photography equipment in order to catch even the smallest details of the cars that we sell. In addition, the description above provides a comprehensive walk-around of the car including the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems. We even will fill you in on any previous maintenance that we've performed. Regardless, all cars that we sell have been thoroughly checked for safety by our in-house master technician. In addition, we road-test every car we sell very extensively before offering it. If there are any issues with the car that are present, they will be mentioned in the auction. Because we road test the cars extensively, it is possible that the car may have more miles on it than when the auction was listed. We always encourage you to come check out the car in person before bidding or making an offer. If you are too far away to do this, there are several inspection services that can review the car, or we can take the car to a local garage of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection.
Please note that a $500 deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction. This deposit can be made by contacting us directly and can be paid by credit or debit card over the phone. This allows us to speak with you person-to-person which allows us to fill you in on the process and fine details of the transaction, as well as lets you know that we are real people who are committed to making the process of purchasing your new car as easy and painless as possible. Buying a car should be fun and exciting, not a chore. The balance is due within 7 days via Certified Check, Money Order, or bank wire transfer. We can also accept credit cards and personal checks for full payment with prior authorization. Simply contact us before bidding or making your offer to let us know that you plan on paying with one of these methods so that we can let you know about additional terms that apply. Non-paying buyers will be reported to ebay. We charge a $255 dealer services fee for all transactions. This fee covers any additional paperwork service, overnighting of paperwork, and dealer prep. We can provide a temporary cardboard plate for out of state customers at no charge. Pennsylvania residents will need to pay sales tax between 6% and 7% depending upon your county of residence. There are also Pennsylvania fees for the registration, title, and license plate (unless you bring your own plate to transfer).
Inexpensive used cars are not at all the same as a brand new car, or certified pre-owned vehicle. They are in no way flawless, or perfect.As noted above, we try our absolute best to disclose any issues which may be present on the car, however a car's condition is somewhat subjective and opinion based. Where door ding may be considered perfectly acceptable on a 10 year old car, it would never be acceptible on a car which is brand new. Also, on higher-mileage used cars, it is important to remember that virtually any mechanical or non-mechanical component can fail at any time. We cannot predict what components will fail in the future, or when they will fail. This is simply the nature of older higher mileage used vehicles. The best that we can do is assure that the car is operating properly at the time of purchase. This car is sold as-is, and we cannot be held responsible for any mechanical or non-mechanical failure. Additionally, because we do not know the inspection requirements of other states, we cannot guarantee that this vehicle will pass any out-of-state inspections. |
