You choose not to disclosure your location, while in USA in mentioned period - you have only 1996-1999 the 3l OM606 diesels in W210 body.
Pretty bulletproof engines, but finding good car with over 20 years might be hard to do.
The 1996-97 models come as NA diesel, what has annoying power curve.

Save your money and save up and buy an annual rider ticket with Grayhound---that's cruising, plus they are all diesels.

Buy my W211 E63 instead. It's way more fun than a diesel.
