I'm new to the forum and I've now owned for 11 months a 1994 Mercedes-Benz W202 C-Class 200 Diesel (OM601 L4 2.0L 8V) which is my first and only car so far.
When I bought it, it had a bit more than 140K km (Which is approximatively 86K miles I believe.) and now has already more than 160K km (Approximatively 99K miles.).
It has been parked in a garage for most of its life so it still has a great paint job. The only problem is that the owner was an old man who quit driving and parked it for about 4 years before selling it, so some rubber seals sometimes break...
What more can I say ? It's stick shift, I love it even if it's kinda slow, and I plan on doing some small modification to give it a nice OEM+ look.
Oh and... I'm from Belgium, I'm 20 years old, I love cars and I make videos on YT.
Welcome. We have good news and bad news. The good news is that I can tell you from experience that 50 years from now you'll still be interested in cars. The bad news is that 50 years from now there may not be any cars. So enjoy it now. My first visit to Belgium was in 1966 (don't do the math). Been to Antwerp (many times), Brussels, Brugge, and Zeebrugge. Lovely country and nice people. Good luck with your new ride!!

I want to refurbished it first ! Then, may be lower it a little bit, get a nice set of OEM rims and put a small turbo and intercooler on it to make a bit faster.
The OM601 is a good engine, it just needs a little bit more power.
Oh and yes, I got to fix the diesel pump, because like I said, rubber seals often have to be replaced...
