Most reliable best gas mileage diesel mercedes for under $4k?

I'm looking for the most reliable diesel mercedes that I could find for $4000 or less. What suggestions would you guys make? Gas mileage and low cost are priorities. I'm not going to skimp on maintenance, but I want the lowest costs that I can get.

What would you guys suggest?

Thanks

123 Diesel, the BEST car MB ever made, considering what you are looking for. Look up a 79 300D or something.

S600 Coupe. 560SEC, E55

The 123 diesels are the best candidate in my opinion. I had a 1983 240D with a manual transmission that seemed to be indestructible and was cheap to maintain.
