1987 vs. 1997

So got a quick question I wanted to put out there about Mercedes diesels. I lived overseas for a couple years and owned a 1997 mercedes diesel wagon...I really loved the car. I have also driven older diesel 190s, 300s, etc. and just love the experience of driving these cars. I guess I caught the bug

Needless to say, I am now really missing having a Mercedes diesel. At this point I am considering buying a 1987 wagon turbodiesel or a 1996-1999 diesel E300 sedan (turbo-diesel, non-CDI). I realize a wagon is a different animal from a sedan...and understand the pluses of having a wagon. Essentially though I want a car that will be easier/cheaper to maintain, more reliable/durable, as well as one decent for towing, and not bad for snow (assuming I have snow tires, and yes, I realize I am talking about a mercedes here), and suitable for biodiesel/alternatives fuels.

Any thoughts/hunches?
