For a first car you want the slowest, simpliest, safest car you can afford. A 70's w123 240D meets those requirements PERFECTLY. Sure it might be as flashy as a nice 300SD but you'll be happy when you don't have problems with electrical, vacuum, and climate control systems.
You could get a good 240D for a fraction of that 300SD and use the rest of the money to put a CD player in (not one of those flashy ones, just a simple Pioneer one) fix a few minor things and spend the rest on a gf or just save it.
Anyways, Idling the car before you drive off in the morning won't do anything, your best bet it to plug the engines block heater in every night so you have a jump start on the warm up process.
EDIT: You should also look for a manual tranny, a little faster and less complicated compared to the Auto
