Ola Vasco!

Eu sou portugues...Pavao...meu portugues nao bom...

A station wagon (kombi) is what I wanted originally as a vehicle. But I have a 240D with a 4pseed. Make sure the rust isn't overly bad (if the price is low enough, rust insn't an issue) Check to make sure the transmission shifts well through all gears and doesn't slip. The car should idle evenly after being warmed up, and start fairly easily in your warm weather. The best advice I can give you is to take it to a Mercedes-Benz mechanic for a look over, on a lift or something.

Vive Portugal!
