Hi! I am new here.
I may be purchasing a vehicle in the not too distant future so I'm beginning some research here. Below are listed some preconceptions I have and what I THINK I want. Please feel free to not only define the MB models that meet my list, but to criticise my preconceptions themselves.
Preconceptions:
no computer--( at least not one that runs the engine or transmission)
diesel--
auto
air bags ( at least driver side but both front bags would be nice)

I think thats about it. What else should I look for, or look to avoid?

By the way, I was referred here by friends on "The DieselStop" formerly know as "Ford-diesel.com"--a really great group!
