yes that is totally true.
My dad has a 210 '00 E320 CDI T-modell, and ok, it is a very nice looking car, and it drives very very wel indeed. Also al those luxury gadgets that you get are very cool to play with.
But, it's a fact that it doesn't have quite that soul that the old ones have.
Also now that mercedes is taken over (early 90's) by economic thinking salesspecialists, you have the feeling that the buildquality is a little less. There's still good reliability, but you get the feeling its starting to miss that to, you know.
We have always driven Benzes in our family, and NO car has EVER let us down. Our previous was a W124 300TD manual, has 400.000kms, and still looks very very good. but the most important thing is that NEVER EVER has ANYTHING gone wrong or broken on it.
You say you'd look out for a late W124.
I'd advice you the 136 or 147BHP 300Turbodiesel engine. nice power, good performance, and ofcourse, the real MB's reliability. If you want to go for a COMPLETLY bulletproof engine, the 300Diesel non turbo is the best you can get.
wel,
nice chatting we have here.
greetzz,

ow yes, i forgot, I asked my dad about the 200D-240D question, and he says the two engines have the same exhaustmanifold and the same injectionsystem. So maybe if I can find a turbo, it might be intresting.
