I would buy a new car. Another used MB diesel - were it me. A new used one, since I will never buy another new Mercedes-Benz, as long as I live.

Trouble is, it's getting harder and harder to repace such a masterfully engineered car. Just my HO. I love those old SDs! I drove my '83 to 305K in 16 years, ALL with NO rust - because of my latitude.

BTW, I've never spent a penny at that Starbucks place - never will either......I have a lot of respect for the $s I've earned to ever throw it away buying any of their overpriced product(s.) Nothing against their company or quality, which I am sure is right up there.
