would ideally like to trade for a similiar condition benz gasser.. but open to considering all trades. Let me know...

Thanks!

Why? Makes no sense unless you enjoy more repairs, higher fuel costs, or accelerating faster.

there are three big reasons gentlemen...
1. accelerate faster :-)
2. I have to consistently go out of my way to refuel
3. I dont have to be asked repeatedly to turn my car off at the white castle drive through

but in all seriousness... Ive just got tired of tinkering and working on the diesel. I just want a good running gasser that I can use through school... I dont have the time to invest to upkeep this car...

I bet you regret it, but best of luck. They are all good cars. You ought to be able to swap into a really nice gasser for a diesel, 420's and such are a dim a dozen around here.

Sounds like you should get a Toyota until you graduate....

Agreed! Any ToyHonBuru would do.

I doubt you would save 1 cent in the long run on a gas engine MB.

This may be Blasphemy, but you might want to consider Lexus if you want quiet and comfort, with reliability. Even an early LS400 is very reliable if it's been maintained.

I would totally trade you my 98' C230. I'm sick of it.
