You may know that every Mercedes model gets a "facelift" about 1/2-2/3 the way through its life. In the case of the W210 you for sure want the later version, which means a 2000-2003 model.

When you get your W210 you simply won't believe how much the 5-speed transmission makes the car so much better than the older 4-speed models. You'll be getting similar fuel mileage, although of course premium gasoline is more expensive than diesel fuel.
