[the alarming man]

Andy's one and the ones you are looking at are a country mile apart EMD....don't do it...woman I worked with had an older one and tbh the repair bill was colossal

Ah so looking like there is expensive problems with the older ones AM ..
Ill stick with the trusty omega then 

Tbh they are shocking off road and nearly as bad on... one of the 4x4 guys had one and I was told it needed a MB diagnostic sessions to even replace the ashtray...now I took that as a joke but then again...if you want an unreliable car buy a P38 rangie....miles of leather and comfortable but 95 % of them are trouble and always will be...but at least parts will be cheaper

Are the older ones manual and auto Andy ?

Sorry, don't know. R Class are only available as auto

I'm gonna buy a V class....when I win the lottery. Shouldn't be too long now, I've been doing it since day one so its gotta be my turn soon.

I think the only way to buy an old Merc these days is to buy a properly old Merc (Pre 1990's) from when they were built like tanks and went on forever. 

Either that be as rich as Lord Opti and buy brand new and change it every year.

Ignoring the E Class, that is why I have never bought a Merc... I could never decide on the best one for me...

I like the hewn from granite but somewhat rusty older ones, but also like a few creature comforts so was always torn between a W116 V8 and a W140 V8/V12... Somehow the W126 didn't quite cut it as a compromise as most are poverty spec 300s and they really don't appeal

My old C250 (W202) was a 1998 model so it had the old Turbo Diesel straight 5 lump which was brilliant, but the bodywork was made of cheese.

It was heading that way so I reluctantly got rid.
