i have 2 2005 cdi's and a 2005 e500 4matic. none of them are beaters or super nice (but they were all super-cheap!!)....the e500 and one of the cdi's are pretty well optioned and the second cdi is not as well appointed. both cdi's have over 200k and the e500 has 108k.
w211 chassis is decent and i enjoy driving all the cars. started with a w116 and have had every diesel model up the line i would say the cdi is the best diesel i've owned.
good luck with the search!
edit: i strongly recommend the massaging seats!!!!! just took the e500 out and in dynamic mode the seat bolsters hold you in as you corner.....totally cool

True, there are plenty of really nice gas powered w211 cars out there. I’m looking at them now and working the numbers on potentially getting one, buying gasoline and still coming out cheeper.
