I saw a parked car on the street that was exactly my style... a black on black Mercedes c320 that was at least 10 years old. It looks like it was a first gen 1993-2000 according to wikipedia. I love the boxy look.. just like a volvo 240/740 but not old as hell. Looked just like this one: http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/463/2221/26156110007_large.jpg

Any body know anything about these cars? MPG looks like its 26 highway which is good for my long commute. I like older (not that 99 is old but just the look) cars and love the interior of benz's.

While we're at it, what about e190 Cosworths? http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z319/djkonky/Mercedes Benz/IMG_3410goodeditsm.jpg

I think i like those better actually but they are probably impossible to find...

The first image looks like a W202. That's the 2nd gen C-class.

The second image (the 190E) is a W201 (1st gen).

I know the W201s were pretty bulletproof. I don't remember if it was with the W202s that MB started fucking around with electronics and made a royal mess of it. Maybe it was the W203.

Funny... I watched Top Gear episode 2 from 2010 last night, and they each bought a 4 door sedan for a track day car. James May bought an E190 Cosworth.
 
ive always loved one of these box sedan benz.

Me being 25 right now, growing up it was the only luxury car i knew of and always wanted one.

If these things are indeed bulletproof and parts are easy to find, i could get myself a beater/ family spare car one of these days. Most of the ones i see around me haven't rusted to shit like all the other jap stuff. What would be the ideal engine paired with a auto?
