There's also the 90-93 300D 2.5 turbo to span the '87 300D and '95 E300 bookends.
It's easier to find later models with heated seats and traction control if those are relevant features to you.
I'd say half the folks buy the car in the best condition at the time they're ready to buy, the other half have the funds available when an interesting car presents itself.
