Since diesel fuel is priced so high, will these cars be more readily available ?

Just out of curiosity..... will we be able to find these cars cheaper since diesel fuel is so expensive? Maybe people want to get rid of these cars ?

what do you think ?

Not anytime soon.

YOu may pay more at the pump, but you get better mpg than a gasser for the most part. Even with a 20 cent hike, you coming out on top.

Factor in all the $$$ saved over the longhaul and you're still beter off keeping them.

Besides, gas will be going up as well in the near future, not only diesel.

I doubt if old MB's will be affected much. If anything, the biodiesel craze might drive the price up a bit. I wonder what will happen to the market for the big diesel pickups with 40 gallon tanks though.
