Guys, I am really impressed by all of the input. I won't be making a decision until summer 08, so I have some time to think things over. I will be on a budget, but I've saved up enough that if I have to have some repairs done to a MB, I can take care of it. I'm somewhat scared of the M104's head gasket issues, don't know if the M103 had the same problem. How about the 2.3 4 cyl? Was it a good or bad engine? As far as diesels, I have heard lots of bad things about the 3.5, such as "rodbender". Is this accurate? Also, were all 126 diesels turbos? And are the MB diesel turbochargers "problematic"?
Thanks, Dave.
