Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon 200 E 16V 4d Auto (1993/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Costs
OEM parts expensive from dealerships, but there are some great independent suppliers of OEM parts at a fraction of the cost. Labour charges at dealerships is over the top, but use an independent specialist with his own business and reputation to keep.

Performance
200 reckoned to be underpowered, but I found the 16v quite exceptional considering powe/ weight ratio.
