Hey all, As title suggests I’m interested in purchasing a diesel Mercedes. My question to you is, which model/year is subjectively the best? I’ve been looking at the GLK and E-classes. The 4matic is a must as I live in northern Canada. The year of manufacture doesn’t concern me too much as long as the power train is good. Currently driving a ‘99 W210 E320 but it’s getting to be quite the rust bucket.
Not sure on the hate above for the Om651. I have 2 diesel wagons here in the U.K. one is an S204 C250 with the OM651 the other is an S213 with the newer 1.9ltr diesel lump.
I would agree that an W212 / S212 is the best choice with 4matic. Both of mine have been supremely reliable and iv had the S204 since new 10 years ago and 100k miles.
