You could spec a 1992/93 2.5-16 to about г42k+, I think.

I love offset. Posts: 8,729 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	Thanks Rupe So my 2.0E AT is roughly А33K of car. I wonder what А33k would get me at the showroom now..?

I love offset. Posts: 8,729 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	Hmm well according to Mercedes-Benz.ie, the new C comes ex-factory @А38500, so I wouldnt get much! Im going to spec up a modern version of my car and see what it comes to..

Fewer Posts than Kenny Posts: 16,149 Group: Members Member #63 Joined: November 18, 2005	So today (assuming 2% inflation), my г24k car would cost over г31k. I do remember the full-page ads in the broadsheets when the W202 was released, MB really pushed the fact that you could get into a new Mercedes for under г20k. г19,995, iirc

V4 Power Posts: 94 Group: Members Member #3,161 Joined: August 31, 2008	Interesting figures on the cost of these cars new, I think we should all give a nod to the first and second owners who have taken a massive financial hit down the years. My own Т93 1.8 had УlostФ г19000 by the time it came into my hands, so people, whoever you are I appreciate your sacrifice for my benefit Viffer

Member Posts: 1,942 Group: Members Member #231 Joined: March 30, 2006	The real benefit of that initial high cost - durability, quality - is being enjoyed by us, the people who are likely to have paid the least. Ironic. Another argument for buying a 190. Edited by 190D 2.5, Fri Dec 5, 2008 9:55 am.

Member Posts: 517 Group: Members Member #1,732 Joined: September 26, 2007	Thanks for posting the prices. To put things into perspective. In 1989, my 2.6 would have been around г23k. In the same year, I purchased a four bedroomed Victorian semi-detached house with loads of original features for г34k. Same house now valued at over г200k. There's a perfectly good 2.6 currently for sale on this forum for г800. Does make you think, doesn't it?

190LE Owner Posts: 628 Group: Members Member #2,274 Joined: February 14, 2008	The Daily Mail's "thisismoney" website has a great inflation calculator. For example, taking stempies figure for a 1993 190E 2.0 at г20930. That money today would be the equivalent of a shocking г29720 (!!!) which would get you a current generation C280 Elegance 4dr Auto at list price г29197 or the latest E250CDi SE at г28925 list price. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/historic-inflation-calculator

My 16V was г37650 in early '91 without full leather, heated seats, fire extingusher, air bag, auto and up graded stereo. If all were options ordered then the total would have been approx г42850! A W126 500SE cost г44370 plus delivery charges & stereo........................................
