It might be only becuase if I drive for work, I get reimbursed and a 124 diesel gets great highway mileage. But, in general it looks like a wash. My thinking, unsupported by any hard evidence, is based on the fact that diesel passenger cars in the USA are a niche market. People who buy a new Mercedes diesel are different from people who buy a new Mercedes gasser. The latter will in general be buying a status symbol, and may not care much about the maintenance schedule as long as it starts and runs and looks good. The diesel owner made a deliberate decision to buy something out of the mainstream, and is probably more likely to be interested in the car as a machine and take care of it, not abuse it, follow the maintenance schedule, etc. Thus the used diesel for sale by the original owner will have less deferred maintenance and unfixed problems than the gasser. Now, if you're buying it as the third or fourth owner, or from a hippie who refuels at the grease barrel behind Burger King, all bets are off.

Re: [MBZ] 124 Diesel Low Miles In Nebraska
How's the comfort level and overall satisfaction of owning and driving a W124 Diesel compared to the Expedition? That would make all the difference to me. Another thought is that the maintenance on the Mercedes may be a bit more simply since it's older.

Re: [MBZ] 124 Diesel Low Miles In Nebraska
Except you will get 32-33mpg in a 2.5 turbo, at least thats what I get on mine, that Im probably fixing to sell in order to buy another interesting car. Except my 2.5 turbo will be quite a bit cheaper than this one. Donald Snook wrote: Rick wrote: A little pricey if you ask me, but if the mileage is correct it could be worth it.
