Shawn TW,

imVho, my "euro-spec" 300D (non turbo) sedan is what you should look for with EITHER a manual or auto trans. - those are NOT hard to find
(it took me about 2 weeks to find mine!)

my little "gold bomb", with 205K miles & auto trans, gets the SAME mileage as my brother's 240D with 4-speed manual. AND it WILL pull a 1000 pound trailer (at a decent speed), which Richard's 240D will NOT - 50MPH being about his limit, pulling a light trailer with light 16ft canoe!

GOOD LUCK.

yours, texasnative46
