How's the mileage on the Mercedes? Besides being EMP proof, are these vehicle reliable?

she gets about 26mpg average but some people get into the 30s and as for reeliabilty ive seen some dudes get over 500,000miles and more so I would say yes they are verry reliable and proven. Also they are verry easy to work on since they are inline 5 cylinder and the germans know what they are doing so everything just makes sense. I have fallen in love with the old Mercs. also the 240d has a 5 speed but it doesnt matter because everything is controled by vacume on these cars inuding the tansmision.

my old man had 240d, and i think i'll have to follow in his foot steps. I have a duramax now that might get sold off and replace it with that dodge and the benzo.

Good choices brother just make sure you look over them awesome rides real good but I think the dodge might be a auto if so don't touch it with a 10 foot pole DODGE CAN'T MAKE A GOOD AUTO plus they are electronicly controlled so in a emp or solar flare you might go 35 mph. 5speed gets better mileage also
