I love my 240D and will never sell it. But it does have it's limitations. I will be buying another Mercedes, probably some form of 300 because I dont like running the 240D for long periods on the highway. They are certianly simpler to work on and a recently re-built motor could be a very good thing - assuming it was done well. Mine has lasted 200000 on a rebuild and seems to go very nicely. My mpg used to be 31 but have recenly fallen to 27-29. Hopefully that's only because of winter diesel.
