I found a '97 300E Diesel with about 119K, that is in, apparently, excellent condition. I haven't driven it yet. I once owned a Volvo Diesel 240 wagon and enjoyed the car until I cracked a head on it and had to rebuild the engine. I like the idea of the car's safety and the diesel's very good mileage. I would like to hear from someone with experience, about this car/motor. We currently have a '95 Volvo 960 w/ 160K and am a little bit hesitant to buy another car with over 100K on it. If someone can fill me in on what I can expect, in terms of longevity of this motor, the power/speed(I don't expect it to be very strong but would like for it to be adequate, be able to pass another car). I have read that bio fuel possibilities are not that great in the US yet but would like to hear what the possibilities are, especially in the Atlanta area.

Many thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time to reply.
