Well could the answer be an identical 300D 2.5 Turbo?

You could then use what you have on the old car for future repairs.

If it hurts to pay for a new new car then I say don't! Buy an old one - and if you're happy with what you've had previously use the knowledge that you gained over the years to get another good one.

Why waste knowledge? Why waste money?
