Next diesel benz?
I've been driving a 99 e300 for about a decade now, got it at 60k miles its now about 190k, will keep it as the daily driver. But looking for recommendations on a newer model used diesel benz for longer trips. Shooting for an SUV but up for anything really. Any models or years to keep an eye out for or those to avoid?
Thanks,

CDI models pre-2007 or so seem to get good reviews.

Avoid the Bluetec diesels from 2008 and newer. They are expensive and failure prone time, effort and money traps.
