Awesome!! I have converted my wife into a dizzel fan and she wants to
fix our 91 300 or find another. After driving the 300D for years her
driving style has morphed into a "all the time, foot on the floor,
driving" and now when she's driving our 06 Ferd Explorer it's the same
way - foot on the floor till the speed limit is reached. She has come
around. ;-)

I took my buddy (old school car guy, transplanting Porch engines into bee dubs
to pay for kawledge) out yesterday in the 99 $500E300 dizzel and he was much
impressed with the torques and overall performance. It is entertaining. I was
telling him about the wife unit’s ML dizzel and how much fun that 450lbft of
torks was...

Craig,
I have a 2006 copy of the E320 CDI. It is almost identical to the 2005
version.
I bought mine about 4 or 5 years ago at 100k miles, It now has 215K miles
and I have noticed very little, if any, decay in the time I've owned this
car. It has more torque ( and acceleration) than V-8 cars I've previously
driven. And that is while getting 35 mpg in town and up to 40 mpg on
highway.
The pictures of the car you are considering show that car was particularly
well cared for because it has all the covers and shields around the engine
compartment. I had a hard time finding one that still had all that stuff.
I don't know how functionally important those things are, but they indicate
to me a level of care and attention to detail someone was giving to its
maintenance.
I've had no problems with the SBC (brake by wire). And I think I saw
somewhere that prices for after market and/or dealer parts for SBC has come
down a lot since warranties expired. So I'm not too worried about any
eventual repairs SBC may need.
I would definitely look that car over. I would want more money than that
to sell mine.
