Thanks for all the input! I think for now I am just going to see how the 1992 is once we finish it. Ill go from there on what to do. Truly it looks like if I want the higher mpg's out of the mercedes I would have to go to the 190d, but for now im going to stick with roomier and less problamatic.

If you are a poor high school kid with two vehicles you cannot afford, unload one. Use the profits from one to repair the other as opposed to getting into debt for another 10-15 year old vehicle that requires more labor, money, parts, etc to bring up to snuff.

I actually laughed out loud when I read this. It sounds like every other kid at my school, indefinitely in debt to their parents. I am on car number 8 and I have purchased all of them except for the very first 1968 beetle which was all rust/not ever drivable and given to me on my 10th birthday. Ive been buying and selling ever since then, and never spend money I don't have. The whole reason im trying to save fuel and what not is so that I have as much as possible in savings when I graduate and go to college. I know it seems crazy, but oh well I love diesels and the looks you get in them, and the "different" factor of them. Otherwise I would be like every other highschool kid with a honda accord or pontiac grand prix.
