Aaron is right on the money. Look for a good w123. The w124 are alot harder to find, and will cost more money. The w126 is a bigger car, but it all depends what you are looking for. Want a good, reliable commuting car? Mine money is on the 240D or 300DT.

1985 300D Turbo with 235,000 miles and uses next to no oil betweem changes. It gets 25 to 27 mpg on my 100 mile a day commute.
