Now this will surely get some ticked but my '84 diesel Celebrity is dirt simple, easy to fix, goes like stink, gets good mileage and is BUTT Ugly. The only reason I bought it was it was cheap and to get a diesel Benz for that year and miles would cost much more. Just an indication as to how well the older MB hold their value and for good reason. I doubt that a 2003 MB will retain the same value 20 years from now.
