The advertisement says it has a V6 engine; if they got that wrong, then perhaps they have the year wrong as well? I'm thinking it really is a turbo, just a sloppy ad. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300, '87 300TD

I would probably not buy one where turbo had been added or aftermarket. The NA diesel is not as fast nor as fuel efficient, but I can say I think it is a great vehicle having put about 40k miles on mine (120-160k).
