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
The suspension bits and climate control system (vacuum pods) seem to be the

Many people think the old 240D is a great car because it tends to be
very simple. Nothing electronic. If you find one with a manual
transmission and manual windows it is about as simple as a vehicle gets.
The most likely thing to cause you trouble is probably the AC if it has
