1990 vs. earlier models 200

If you are asking because you are thinking of purchasing a car, I say that conditon and maintenance matters more. By this time the biodegrable wiring etc. will have been replaced by the previous owner if s[he] cared about the car.
Oil and fluid changes in general [coolant, brake, tranny] are preventive maintenance that equals a good used car. As are brakes and suspension that has been maintained when needed by competent mechanics

If you are asking as an academic question, I had a 79 wagon, it seemed more solid than the 87 240DL 5 spped and the 88 245GL automatic but the later had more zip, were quieter.

20 year old anything will require maintenance, the value of this board is the wealth of information from individuals who have done work themselves and are willing to share their experience and advice so you can diagnose and repair your own vehicle.
