I am going back to the '90s Mercedes well sooner than I normally would due to the rarity of this 1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E Sportline for sale in San Diego.

Rarity, and cleanliness. The ad is sparse on details, but the car looks quite clean in photos -- though the seller does mention some patina in the paint.

It appears to have the 2.6-liter engine making 158 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque and an automatic transmission.

The title is clear and the registration is current.

The seller hasn't listed the mileage, but the ask is $6,500.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  I was going to suggest a Stanza, but a Vigor will suffice!

Dave M. Get rid of anything 4 cylinder. I know a lot can be done with them, but I have occasion daily with luxury cars and whether it's Mercedes, BMW or any other luxury or semi-luxury brand, 4 cylinders (turbo, supercharged) still sound like an economy car.
Kosmo Resume the CTS V Wagon with 6MT!!!
Ajla I'd also rather fix Jaguar. 😔
Flashindapan I’m not an engineer but 30psi seems really high for factory turbo.
Mike Beranek To have any shot at future relevance, Cadillac needs to lean into it's history and be itself. That means investing real money into differentiating them from the usual GM "parts bin" strategy.Build big cars with big, bespoke engines. Build a giant convertible with suicide doors. Build Escalades that aren't just Yukons with bling. Bring back the CT6, but make it available at a more reasonable price, to balance out the halo models.Build cars that famous people want to be seen in. That's what made Cadillac what it was.
