For me , that means an old Benz diesel. I guess as a disclaimer I should mention that I am an unrepentant CAB (Cheap-Assed Bastard.) But I chose an old Benz over a new VW diesel not solely based on cost but because the new VW turbodiesels are reported to have issues, and the new MBs are reported to be no more reliable than an Oldsmobile.
