Wow, thanks for the responses! I am excited about keeping this car aound for awhile. Thanks for the info and this seems like a great forum! Where is the best place to buy parts? Is it pretty easy to do my own repairs/maintenance? I love my VW diesel and now with a MB, this is ever better!

Is it better to not have a turbo? From a maintenance standpoint? It seems like less to break down?
