PA,1983 Mercedes Benz 240D,Manual,$2000
 

Found this on craigslist, I'd love to have it but I can't.
It won't last long at this price.

Oh man, I learned to drive stick on that car :p Same color too :p I loved that car - it will last just about forever too given it's cast iron block and head :p Plus it has trunk space like you wouldn't believe o.0

But don't let it fool you... It is a diesel, but expect around 20-25mpg.

Also has a bit of a smoke problem from what I hear. I feel that if you are going to go diesel, and can't wait for the 2008 models to start going to market, then your best bet is a VW TDi. Oh, but I am a bit biased...
