Get the V-10 diesel if you can.

Crock!

The 96-97 and I'm not sure if it followed 97, but the w210 diesel from this era is an Om606 and are garnered as the very best of MB diesels, at least up to that date. Newer MB diesels have still the jury out, but go for it! Just make sure there is no rust around the front coil spring perch area, as this w210 is known for such!

That's not the way to judge hard working engineers at MB.

Not in the US, but did the W210 really see a 10 cylinder diesel elsewhere?
