the old e-classes 1992 models doesn't have an effective fuel injection system, unlike the 1996 c class, beside that the c-class in general is more practical than the e-class, and i think the spare parts are cheaper than the e-class and easy to get since the 1992 is almost discontinued. the only problem u may encounter with the c class is the space
