Newer diesels make a lot more power on less fuel than the older ones too. The

Compare that to 120hp out of the 3.0l 617 turbo. It also starts well in deep

I think if you're looking for more comfort than a Passat you're looking
for a W211 or W212, and not a W164. But that's not the voice of
experience, it's just speculation.
It's not speculation to say you are not looking for a body on frame

John, I doubt they are going to have to replace the door to fix it, worse
case only the door skin Most likely they will be about to pull the dent

I had a door fixed on the 98 Cad last summer. I went to the claim
place, they gave me a couple of body shops, went to one that jerked me

I'm amazed at what little beating a body shop is willing to do on
