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?

Good point indeed. I would consider a 98 or 99 W210 Turbodiesel in decent shape. Hard to find, but I am in no hurry!

I don't think I will go back to W124 though. I am parting out the old one now. The only part I have trouble sending with the car is the vacuum pump which had cost me several hundred $ from what I recall.

Bye
