The seller offers for sale a 1991 Mercedes W201 190D 2.5 automatic sedan powered by a reliable 2.5-litre 5-cylinder diesel engine. This example was purchased by the current owner from a Mercedes dealer in 2009, with only 29,750 km on the odometer at that time. It remained part of a private collection until 2017 and has since been driven occasionally, now showing 146,580 km. The car presents in good condition, with neat paintwork showing only small cracks in the driver-side plastic door panel. The interior is in well preserved condition, with components intact and functioning. This Mercedes-Benz is equipped with electric windows at the front and a manually operated sliding roof. The engine starts instantly, runs quietly without smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The vehicle has never been in an accident and shows no visible rust. It also holds a valid technical inspection and comes with 4 steel rims with winter tires and plastic hubcaps.
The Mercedes-Benz W201, better known as the 190 series, represented a turning point for Mercedes when introduced in the 1980s. Often called the “Baby Benz,” it combined compact dimensions with the refinement and build quality of larger Mercedes models. The 190 D 2.5 is particularly admired for its durable diesel engine, delivering impressive longevity and excellent fuel economy. With its solid construction, smooth ride, and understated design, it remains one of the most dependable and collectible compact sedans from the brand’s history. Today, the W201 enjoys strong appreciation among enthusiasts for its timeless engineering and comfort, especially in original, well-preserved examples like this one.
