Considering a 300D or 190D..

Hey everyone,

Well, I finally found a full time job! Only down side its about 115 miles round trip from my house. The 190E managed to get 25 mpg on the trip up for my interview.

I was considering picking up either a 124 300D or 201 190D mainly for fuel economy reasons and to not beat up my 190E so much.

I came across a 190D in the for sale forum that was in Baltimore on eBay. It hasnt sold, I saw it posted on craigslist as well with a price tag of 5k. I think thats a bit high...

I came across a 87 190DT locally with 70k miles on it. One owner. They want
8700 for it. Thats steep!

I found this 300D on Autotrader that seemed to be at a good price or so..

I'd like the your thoughts on this whole thing. Maybe I should just stick with the 190E? I've got a 300SD at my disposal as well but it typically does 26mpg, so not much better than the 190E.
