Well now that my 92 300d needs rebuilt injectors, it will be out of commision for a while, which means i will be driving the 6.0 liter chevy truck that gets 12mpg. Now since i am only 16, and dont have a job yet this is going to kill my mercedes repair funding. So I am considering buying a "cheap" piece of transportation until then, and sell once I trust my car again. But of course it has to be a diesel car. My question is that what are the chances that buying lets say a $500 running and driving mercedes that i will not have to dump a bunch of money into it just to get it to get me from point a to point b. Here are a few options i have found:

Let me know what you think, or if i should just suck it up and drive the gas guzzler...
thanks
zach
