I was blown away when he told me he wants to look for one out of state because "he wants to take a trip" and I'M TOTALLY DOWN FOR THAT! Our price range is between 200$ (yeah I know...) and I would say 3,000 tops..

I'm pushing for Diesel and he's cool with that, but he's not into the slower models such as the 240D ect and no stick shift because my sister can't drive stick Also it needs to be a four door sedan. Well, I've been looking at 300E's, 300TD's (124 body) and the 91-96 S classes, especially the Diesel ones. Of course, the first state I started looking in was Texas but the Lone Star State is letting me dwon with a low amount MB's for sale and at high prices... I've been looking all night and I can't decide on a specific model to go with. My dad and I REALLY want the 91-96 S Class but there aren't that many out there and all the Diesel ones are 6 grand and up. The 300E would be perfect but I feel like it'd be a waste driving all the way to Delaware from California for a 300E.. Plus we have to make sure this car is ready to make such a trip across country.

I don't really have time to wait until a good one pops up because we really need another car.. Has anyone ever had a similar situation? Advice? Are there any other models that would do good? Thanks everyone
