Heh. That's so silly. "Perfect" diesel - huh? It depends on what I want it to do, my order of preferences regarding features and functions, etc. There is no one "perfect" car. I really like the TD for the cargo capacity and the rear suspension. My wife prefers having a trunk to hide stuff in. I like the manual HVAC controls, but like power windows (manual is fine for the drivers door, but the others are hard to reach from the drivers seat). And a turbo. And a manual transmission. I would like the power and economy of a 603, but the durability of a 617. But there isn't a W123 that is big enough for my family. A wagon with the third seat has enough seats, but not enough room for my collection on necessary travel accessories. (tool boxes, spare parts, etc.) And none of the passenger cars are of any real use for hauling firewood, hay, gravel, cows, pigs, chickens, etc. So what is the perfect diesel? That's easy!! It depends! -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
