I absolutely love mine. I've owned alot of MB diesels and this is - by far - my favorite diesel. Some say it was the best car Mercedes-Benz ever made. I've put over 65,000 miles on mine and it's been really good to me. Never left me stranded (only once, when I ran out of fuel). Mine currently has about 290K and shows no signs of stopping. Don't let me fool you though, this is a 15 year-old car and will require repairs to be done, and some may not be cheap. But the feel of this car, the ride and the quality put the cost behind me. Seriously, I can't say enough good things about this car, it's a shame there were only about 8,000 of them made in '86 and '87.
