If you simply must have a Mercedes that you can run into the ground, find a 240D with manual transmission and windows. The rest of us here will just have to mourn the eventual demise of another 240D.

I hate to add unnecessary commentary, but I couldn't agree more. I have a W116 300SD that I drive daily, and it's cherry. All the electric windows work, the climate control blows ice cold (oooooohhhhhhh), and every gauge works. It's a love hate relationship. I have an incredibly insane work schedule, but luckily I have the know-how to do essential and day-to-day repairs, and therefore I find the time.
If you aren't committed, get another car. Simple as that. And yes, I will mourn the loss of another 240.
