They are cheap for a reason. As an inmate I'd have to pay nearly two thousand euros a year in road tax for a W201 250D. And it does unfortunately have a fair amount of electrickery. However in France I reckon you'd do well buying an OM602 powered something up here and then migrating back down south...
