The '97 was sold in February; the (local) buyers love it!

I don't understand. You spend weeks cleaning the Stuttgart toilets with a
toothbrush and you still need to spend 40 h per week doing more research

I thought you would pick up all the brown stuff you need without trying
further...

MBSPY.COM is offline - much too much work involved!!!

Which especially means research, investigation and
digging through an ocean of information to be able
to select and prepare appropriate (= top, not any
"me too") site content.
That meant a total of 40+ hours a week for a hobby
project, which obviously is way too much in the
long run.

Exactly so. With UK diesel prices being significantly above 95 octane (91
US) petrol prices and no significant difference in road tax you have to do a
lot of miles to justify a diesel purchase. Maybe a bit less if a lot of
city driving is involved, but the principle remains.

Although I'm kind of a diesel fan I recommend to
think about the engine type, diesel or gas:
It turns out that there is a (not that small?)
number of people for whom driving a gas car would
be cheaper - of course that depends on many
variables like car's price, mileage per year,
insurance, taxes, fuel prices and the country you
live in as well as comparing engines with
similar power output.

In the Seattle area diesel is currently running ~15% less than 87 octane
regular unleaded. I replace an '05 Ford Taurus and an '04 Ford Ranger
getting around 21 mpg each with a '92 MB 300E turbodiesel and an '03 VW
Jetta TDI wagon. Between the the lower fuel prices and the significantly
better fuel economy I expect the diesel to be far more economical.
