My brother in Vancouver just sent me this.  ;D

Quote
You’re admiring a 1993 Mercedes 190E Avantgarde. This rare and desirable colour combination(s) is a factory interior that will afford you an elevated place in society that sets you and possibly your passengers apart from everyone else driving (or riding) in a ‘cool old Mercedes’. Listen, this Mercedes 190 E is the real deal, it runs and drives *fantastic*. The engine starts right up, idles well, shifts smooth and crisp, and the tires and brakes are all very good.

The car has a large sunroof, power windows, ABS brakes, airbag, and a fuel efficient and powerful 2.3l 4 cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed automagic gearbox. This is a fun, sporty, stylish, and prestigious luxury commuter car that is collector eligible right down to the factory radio. It looks good on Boundary, Fraser, Main Street, and anywhere East of Ontario. Further West, I don’t know, don’t push your luck, it’s no 300SD.

Yes, it has original paint, but not the original tires, so you know what that means. And if you don’t, that means someone took care of this car, didn’t crash it, and did their maintenance, because you know, it’s a nice Mercedes, not the shitty 190E for $2,000 with empty vape cartridges in the centre console.

170,000 kms from new.

Nice to see something other than a black interior.

 ^^ Yeah I posted that this time last year. It was for sale privately. Maybe he gave up and traded it in for something at that dealer ?

Nice car.

I had a Chrysler Neon like that with the 5spd. It was actually a really good car and fun to drive. I had no idea you could get one in leather.

I had no idea you could get one with traction control.  Whoever ordered this, knew what they were doing.

I never understood why anybody would buy a car to not drive it.

Found this part the most interesting.

The included window sticker lists colors and options as well as a total price of $18,210 when new.

Almost $20K in 2001. WOW!

C'mon lottery...

Funny, I just bought some tickets (I'm still in the pool from work) and my wife and I both agreed that this would be a good vehicle for driving the dogs around in if the numbers come up.

Everything he describes about the Players 1LE cars is true...They were built for the GM Players F-Body race series which was based here in Ontario at Mosport (though they held some special events at other tracks). I Loved the series as a kid, and my dad (who drove a Camaro at the time) was working at Esso who was one of the headline sponsors. He collected a bunch of memorabilia, which I have now. It's also the series where Ron Fellows really made his name.

Anyway, due to proximity Ontario has a disproportionate number of the surviving cars, and there are a handful of really serious fanatics that've hoarded most of them, which kinda sucks for me because I'd love to have one of them in the collection.

This particular guy I am not familiar with, there was a guy in the Peterborough area that had 3-4 of them, who is a lot more active in the f-body circles.

Definitely special cars with a really cool history, and certainly more valuable than a standard 3rd gen, but the market is somewhat limited to die-hard 3rd gen Camaro/Firebird fans.

I like that Plymouth Neon.  Who wants to bet it will eventually go for more than the original sticker price?
