Opinion on this 190E 2.3-16?

Im from a LHD country so been eyeing this one up, its in spain atm.
Seller claims NO rust, new brakes, nearly new tires. Serviced annually..getting the rear scratches sorted at a dealer atm.

Brave pills at the ready or sensible buy?

Look like some rust bubbles around the arches? Door cards probably all knackered, if it has lived in a hot country will the rest of the trim be ok? Full leather is nice option, not sure if aux gauges have bled...can't tell from pictures. Car generally looks dirty and dusty.

Tow eye cover missing.

Nearside (on LHD) front wing fit not right.

Wheels wrong.

Non-factory rooftop aerial hole.

Dashboard all over the shop.

Crap tyres.

Pictures taken 9,000km ago by a man who has never operated a camera before.

Mobile ashtray.

It's in Spain, so it's being sold by a Spaniard. Or a Moroccan. Or a cockney. Or a scouser. But not by someone you'd want to buy a car from.

My opinion is that it is a disaster zone.

haha, fair dues. Ill pass on this then!

He's not asking the earth for it and it has a very full spec. It depends what you want. Not everyone wants a concours special. But this one does look like it is coming to the bottom of that steep downhill run to the great autobahn in the sky.

Yeah I dont mind some scruff around the edges, but it has to be mechanically solid and not too much rust if it can be helped..
