Not trying to pick a fight, just telling it like I see it. Obviously you don't have to see it my way. I can say why I do from experience. I've owned both a 617 and a 603. I'll never ever buy another post 85 Benz ever again. BTW, how many times have you heard of a cracked head or bent rods in older (pre-85) diesel engines? Should we start a new thread about this?

Don't know much about the 116/117's. From experience, the transmission was holding up much better in the 123 than it was in the 124 I had. They both had about the same mileage when I had them.

The best or nothing didn't except for the a/c, the blower fan, the modulator, the radio, and the cracked plastic over the wood trim. ..And we made it bad year in, year out!

Dead at 1985???
I love my '91. Runs great. I heard MB diesels died in 1998. I think that was the last year for the inline 6 engine that was basically the 1995 model year motor. Probably the best they ever made. I'm just guessing in 2002, after a few year hiatus of making them (I think that's when they restarted making diesels), they started making good diesels again.

I wouldn't count out their new diesels. They are loaded with electronics, but they kick serious but!
0-60 in 6.6 and 35 MPG.
