BoostnBenz,

MB first put turbos on the 300SD in 1978. How do I know, I have one. It was also the first time an S model had a Diesel engine.

Adam,

A Diesel doesn't sound like a very good choice for a winter car in Wisconson. If you are away from where you can plug in the block heater, you may have trouble starting the engine. Even though I'm a Diesel advocate, I suggest getting a gasoilne beater for the winter.
