Rick, I doubt you will live to regret buying a W124 300D 2.5t. Mine is one of the finest cars I have driven in the past 4+ year. I drive mine between 80 and 85+ miles an hour on the interstate and still get 31 mpg-great handling car as well. Good luck and enjoy. Dwight PS-maybe you should sell

Hi Rick - Ditto what the others said - Ilike mine so much I may find another someday -- my wife drives this one all the time. Try to find the best one possible - naturally - mine had 100k when I bought it and I still had to do some tweaking. But the nicer the better - My engine starts
