I briefly scanned the old threads for opinions about the best MB's in various price ranges...and didn't see any.

So, I thought I'd start a few (<$5k...$5-10k...$10-15k...$15-20k...$20-30k...$30k+)...see the other threads for other's thoughts.

Taking miles, years, wear-and-tear, etc. into consideration, what do you think is the BEST used MB for between $20-30,000?

Would you rather have a new high mile car...or a older low mile car...a diesel or a gas-powered vehicle. What's the best deal costing more than $30 grand?

Current:
1985 300SD (300,000 miles)

Former cars (of note):
1966 Mustang
1983 300SD (sold it at 320,000 miles)

Id say a well taken care of W210 Diesel or Turbodiesel.

Prehaps a flawless C36 or C43 AMG, for kicks and value.
