I like my 99 E300 Turbo Diesel. Yes, it has it's issues but it is still a good car.

Now, the question is how much money do you have to spend. Without knowing that, it would be hard to figure out what you need. I mean, you can go all the way to an 05 CDI if you wanted. Now, if your hubby won't want to really get involved in fixing your car, you need to DIY or get a tech to do it. So, another question is, how comfortable are you with screwing around with electronic stuff? Older cars can become a problem if you don't know how to maintain it. Newer cars have electronics to worry about.
