Re: [MBZ] To Veggie or Not

[Mitch Haley]

If the frybrid is $2300, and a halfway decent 190d (non-turbo) is $2300 
(that's very close to what I paid for my 190E 2.3-16v), I'd go for the
190D. Even if we're talking $5-6k for a 300d 2.5, I'd be leaning towards
the car. A good used Cummins motor costs more than a non-pristine 190d
if something goes wrong with the veggie conversion. I'm with you on VW 
pricing. I wanted a turbo Jetta, circa 1986, but a useable one would
have cost twice what I paid for my 300SD, and that's what got me started
with MBZ back in 2002.
