Thanks for the feedback on the 190e I am thinking of buying.
The car has 180k on it and is using a little oil. It smokes a little
when it first cranks up. I assume this is valve seals. Is this something
you can learn to live with or does it need to be fixed in a big hurry.

 

I would rec checking the valve guide seals. Check your spark plugs for oil contamination. Your best off replacing all seals. Sometimes the valve guide sleeves get loose in the cylender head, then you have problems.
