[MBZ] 1996 E300

[John Peterson]

Hello Friends, I have a friend with more money than I do who is looking 
at the /1996-1998 E class diesels/.  Am I wrong to be telling him that 
MB diesels are wonderful and he is going to love them?  I warned him 
that the '96 non turbo would be slow, but as far as reliability and what 
we have all come to expect from our 123's and 124's, do these compare?  
Are they a quality item?

I personally have been toying with the idea of getting a 190 2.6 gasser 
for a third car here, along with my question about the later Diesels 
above, anybody have a 190?  Opinions?

Thanks

John Peterson
