Hey Rio,
This is just a piece of advice, so please don't be offended. The best thing for you to do is just sell your car, and buy something cheap and fuel efficient. Concentrate on your education. Make a career for yourself, and then buy whatever car you want. Don't let your car become a money dump at this stage of your life. The less distractions now, the better. In a few years, buy yourself an E500.....Or buy a similar car that you have right now that is in good shape. It will save you money in the long run. Good luck, I hope all works out for you.

If you love your W124 and wanna fix it up, wouldn't it be easier just to buy a 4 cylinder W124?
I mean 260E's are slow enough as it is so i dont think speed is on your agenda, so it would probably be the better idea to by the 4 cylinder Version

Geos are not very safe nor reliable, if you are going to get an efficient car, try and make sure you get one that atleast will protect you in the event you are invovled in an accident.
