But another lady has cought my eye... a 1997 300e that has 170 thousand but is the cleanest 15 year old car I have ever seen. What do you all think of these cars. They are wanting around 5800 for her. I have not ever seen any of you discussing this era of diesels on this list. I know that this is not turbo only the 98-99s are. But it drives peppy enough. The first gear sounds different than my old 81 but the transmission shifts very smoothlly. What say ye?

The control arm bushings were bad and both front springs were broke very costly and a major job (that i haven't finished yet)
