The story
I bought my 190D from a family friend for 550$ running and driving. I’ve done quite a few things to make it into a better vehicle like brakes, and suspension maintenance. It has has 80k miles on it for who knows how long, because the odometer is broken haha. I love this car to death, it’s a great car, and has never broke on me. It keeps going and going, and has yet to stop, and shows no signs of slowing down. It is incredibly slow, but it is a fun and slightly sporty car, and takes turns like a dream. It is the best car I have ever owned, and I want to keep it for the rest of my life. I based most of my Instagram around this car, because I love these cars and love to see what people do with them.
