Which would you keep? E320 or E300 turbodiesel???? Please help me decide!!!
Times have changed and I need to sell one of my cars. My 1998 E320 has 55K miles on and my 1998 E300 turbodiesel has 104K miles. Which is a better car to keep long term wise. Which is more reliable long term? Less machanical/electrical issues etc. Please help!

The diesel by far. Much more fuel efficient, and the 606 turbodiesel is known to reach VERY high miles. Plus, its diesel, and diesels are just far more awesome than gassers.

Keep the diesel. What do you expect us to say? This IS the diesel discussion forum.

Geez dude you're in the Diesel Discussion Forum. Which car do you think we're gonna choose???
 By the way, I'd sell both W210's and find a nice W124 diesel......

I would say it depends on which one you can get more money for. Unless you drive alot, the costs won't be much different.
I would keep the diesel if the glow plugs have all been successfully replaced. I'd hate to sell my E320 then be down for 2 weeks while the head is removed from the E300 for glow plug extraction.
