A 240D will be significantly slower than your Jetta, I would say. The MB is a MUCH heavier car, and the automatic slows it down even more. The acceleration is better with a stickshift, if you can find a nice one.
If you find a nicely cared for 240D, it will probably outlast any Jetta by a LONG shot! The MB diesels are built like tanks! Look for one with good maintenance records, above all else. Actual mileage is not as important as a consistent maintenance schedule.
Good luck in your search,
Mike
