Those are nice looking cars. There is a S diesel in the early 90s too that may be worth considering.

I found a MB buyer's guide at Barnes and Noble. There is a chapter on diesels.

Well after reading a couple of the forums that you guys provided me the 350s are definitely out. Seems that those engines have the same reputation that the 2.7 engines have, no offense to those that own them, and at $10K for a new engine it definitely rules them out. Seems that the 300 are "bulletproof" and they come in a "L" version which is what my dad is looking for.
