With the Mercedes 190e 2.3L, you can expect to have problems with the fuel injection system. You could also experience hot weather starting problems. Another issue has been slight electrical interferences.
There are not going to be any serious problems with those cars. They were designed really good and the only thing you will have to do is the preventitive maintenance.
Some of the most common problems with those cars are they burn a lot of oil if not properly maintained. You can buy a Nissan and never put oil in it and it will still go. They have issues with the electrical also if you run into a problem with it not charging.
