Huh? Oh yeah, almost forgot the original question........ Deffinitely go with the 123 for nephew, better yet an automatic 240D to make him suffer and teach him a lesson. A sitting duck in the road, he will quickly either get squashed again or learn to stay out of people's way. 115's are probly better left to serious hard-core diesel fans wise to the road who understand car maintenance too. But why reward the kid? If he totalled his last car maybe he should buy the next one himself. And if me was he at that age, i wouldnt bother with a 4cyl diesel at all - but with cash from the insurance claim I'd get a motorcylce instead.
