I freely admit that I'm hopelessly ill informed of the later w210 models....as a Diesel owner, I hadn't heard anybody say anything really good about Mercedes quality after the w124s.

One of the reasons I enjoy the diesel is that I can do much of the work on the car myself. Seems to me that anything after about 1997 or so is just inundated with complex electronics and stuff a mechanic or dealer has to fix.

Anyway, I will look into a w210. What years are "post-face-lift"?
