I actually drove a 606 for the first time today. It was a 1998 E300D.

WOW!

I wasn't planning to buy a car but I would have bought that car after driving it. We couldn't come together on the price/trade thing. If the $ part worked out, I would have been driving one home today. I think he was OK on his price for the E300, but was nowhere near the right palce on my trade, so it didn't go anywhere. Did get me thinking though maybe I should sell my other car privately and start looking around for an E300D.

I wonder if those more recent diesels are also exempt from smog in CA like my 87 is.... that was something the dealer was unable to tell me for sure. NICE car. Smaller than my 300SDL by a lot, but pretty nice.
