320CDI might replace my 300TD

Well I am just in love with the new 320CDI; I've been driving one every chance I get. Shabby may be on its way to my granola lawyer sister in WPB, Fl. if I can pursuade the queen of the house.
I have joined Carlton Mercedes-Benz here in Greenville, SC. Please drop me a note or stop by if I can help you with your new or pre-owned MB purchase.

they will pretend to give you something but in reality they wont. best bet is to sell your car outright and negotiate the best deal you can on the newer car.

I've never driven a CDI but I imagine they are awesome cars, though the electronics are somewhat scary. Even the brakes are electronic! A while back I was tempted to sell my '96 and Jetta to get a used CDI for a few thousand more, but decided against it. Used CDI's are now dropping into the $30,000's. But I will always have a W123 diesel. To me that car is simply not replaceable.

Cool. Get Euro delivery if you are buying a new one. Then you can ring it out on the Autobahn and have a cool trip in the process.

When will the CDI wagons hit our shores? Not interested in a sedan.
