Coming back from burnout

My next dream car--the 1987 W124 Mercedes 300D?

I have heard it has 6 cylinders and a Turbocharger to Boot, which makes me very interested. I am driving 180 miles tomorrow to look at one... Any hints?
For those of you who know me I have had spectacular failures and spectacular luck rebuilding both the 5 cylinder and 4 cylinder engines.
I got at least 110 K off both rebuilds, but I have done some amazingly stupid things too.
I ruined a great 240 D earlier this year in an accident after rebuilding the transmission and then last month I ran the oil very very low on my 300D when I installed a rubber hose from my Valve Cover to air cleaner intake and then "crimped" it when I closed the hood, thereby plugging the breather.
But I think I am undeterred. I would like to try a different car. Its summer and I miss working on Cars...
