It's worth more than a gasser because it's more desirable so some people. Whether it's for the reliability and simplicity, for its ability to run alternate fuels, because people want a diesel Mercedes, I don't really know.

Personally, the only reason that I have diesels is because of the mechanical durability of the engine. If I had to choose between your '95 E320 and a '92 300D? Hard choice since the '95 is more refined inside and out, nicer looking IMO, 120hp more power, fuel mileage almost as good, ... but the 300D is a diesel!

I loved driving my E320s, but sold them and kept the diesels, can't explain why.
