Looking at the E-class gassers (E430), which seem relatively cheap around here.

Yeah, I would prefer diesel, but by the prices you'd think they come with gold

I looked around for diesel W210s but as we discussed I had a hard time finding
the later diesel model. Seems like the non-turbo (97) versions were around, but
the turbo versions were scarce for the most part.
I did learn that 1997 was a transitional year for the chassis and had some
weird thing
I sure wish they offered diesel 210s after 99, but if you have the chance to
get a 98-99 diesel, do it. The bumper, grille, and taillights are a little
different and it does not have the steering wheel buttons but otherwise they
are the same.
