My guess is that finding a nice example of one of those would cost far beyond what the average teen is willing to spend anyways.....I have never actually seen one of that vintage around here, ever. Just some turbo wagons.....and the later W124's....I've seen some sedans of that time frame, but never a wagon.

I thought it was more interesing (or maybe just curious) that along with the other 9 choices from 2003 to current models, they would pick a car that's 28 to 30 years old!
The article didn't discuss whether a teenager would WANT a 300TD, though when I was that age, given the choice between paying for my own choice, or driving an old Mercedes, I would have, and did choose - the old Mercedes. That 'old Mercedes' however cost $200, not 6 to 14 K, or whatever the equivalent was in 1973.
Today, I do have a 5-speed '84 NA 300TD without the dreaded ACC of any kind. Of course it's a Euro model. Does have the SLS though.
Happy Motoring, Mark
