I have had my 240D for only a couple months, but i bought it because i knew mercedes, expecially the older diesels, were an excelent investment, of course my baby is 23 years old and things are going to go wrong, But let me say this, i just replaced the starter in my car, I come to find out, that that is the orginial starer on my car. ITS 23 YEARS OLD!! how many Hondas do u know that can do that? Also my car has abot 238K on it, and starts up faster and better than my 97 Nissan altima with only half the miles. I dont care how much money i have to put into my mercedes, I wanta keep this thing running forever!
