its not as fast as the later turbo version but it should have plenty of
power.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] question - '96 diesel versus '93 turbodiesel
Is the check engine light on? Sounds like some of the flaps
in the intake runners are not working right.

Comments appreciated on the differences (driving, reliability,
comfort, performance, etc) between a '93 300 2.5L
turbodiesel and the
'96 E300 3L diesel (non turbo)...
The '96 was sold before I could get to it. I drove a '97
E300D this morning.
Nice car, very comfortable, dog slow. It got a bit faster
as I drove
it (perhaps it was sitting around for a while, or maybe I
got used to
it), but it was still *really* slow. 0-60 in about 15
seconds, with no
get up and go in the 30-50 range or 50-70.
I'm trying to decide whether the later car (more airbags, traction
control and an updated interior) is worth $3 or $4K more
than a faster W124...
Thoughts appreciated.
