Considering A Diesel Mercedes
 

Due to the rising gas prices, I'm thinking of getting a Diesel Mercedes. Preferably something from around the mid-1990's. The only Diesel that I can remember from this time period is the E300. Does anyone know of any other Diesel models that were available? I looked at a 1994 E300. Are these decent cars in terms of reliability and maintenance? Thanks for your help.

There is no US-spec 94 E300. There's a 95 E300 (W124) and the same engine in the 96-97 E300 (W210) which got a turbo for 98-99. If you're outside the US, lucky you.

The 96-97 Passat TDI sedan and wagon are nice cars if you like to shift.

Why do you need something from the mid-90's?

I like to keep up with car prices ,classifides, Ebay, autotrader.com. etc. MB diesels seem to be making a steady increase in price in the last month or so.........

For economy plus modern amenities, you might also consider the early '90s 300D 2.5Turbo.

william rogers I've made that same observation, they seem to really be moving up in CA.
