This is tempting. I need to replace my dissolving truck...I have been planning to get a P71 Crown Vic. However, when getting gas yesterday, I saw something intriguing for sale: a 1998 Mercedes E300 turbo diesel. It's cream-colored, claimed one-owner, and has a 1/2" thick folder of paperwork on the seat. Price is $7K. So...anyone who knows later E-class diesels better than I do (that would be...everybody) have any input?
