LAC: Biodiesels, Diesels, TDIs' etc...

[mkb]

Lately, I've been mulling over the idea of getting a
diesel something.  I've been leaning towards some sort
of 90's VW TDI or an 80's Mercedes.  I think I can get
something decent under 200k miles for less than $5k. 
Any preference for either the TDI or the Mercedes?

My ultimate goal is to do a bio-diesel conversion.  If
anyone has been down this road and wants to share info
it would be very much appreciated.

Looks like you can convert an 80's Mercedes to
bio-diesel for under $1k (rubber fuel lines-to-all
steel) and they can be had for $3k or so.  Anyway,
lots of good info on the net about this, but just
wanted to see if someone here has gone down this
route.

The motivation for this move is obvious; over $3/gal
for premium for my A4, but the Audi stays.
