Somehow the phrase meager budget does not mesh with W140.
The circa 2005 or later E-class diesel may be the sweet spot as far as MB
diesel quality for your money. Pay-out for a totaled E300 should be at least

speaking of replacement MBs - I have always liked the lines of the
320CLK and 420CLK (I suspect the 320 is plenty of power) although it's a

them? They don't seem to hold their value too well - not usually good

thing that irks me the most about the new Clean Diesel TDIs is the way
they configured the Late Post-Injection emissions control system such
that running BioDiesel isn't recommended,...
because of that, i can't look at a TDI after about MY2006.5.
