Aaron and others in snowy areas,

Hi. I need advice on MB models and how they do in the winter. In about a year or so I will be trading in my '96 Dodge (110,000 miles currently) for a "new" car. I'm considering getting an older MB, perhaps 114, 123, 124, 116, or 126 chassis. If I go for a used MB as apposed to a new car (Honda, Toyota, Subaru, etc), it would be because of a low point of entry cost; below $15,000 for sure, maybe below $10,000. (Yea, I know, I'll spend $4,000 to get it running like it was when new.) The only thing is that I would really need a car that would go well in the snow. My first three cars were rear-wheel drive ('76 Buick Electra, '83 Toyota Celica, '85 Nissian 300ZX) and I got by with them pretty well. What old MB would do me right in poor weather? Also, with all the other unskilled poor weather drivers in Ohio, what car would I be safest in? Are these two criteria met by one car?

Thanks!
