[s-cars] NAC - Benz 300E Questions]

[AaronT]

Thanks everyone for your MB comments.
Im very attracted to the W124 diesels but am concerned about cold weather
starts.  Finding a plug is a pita.  (It was -5 here this morning....).
Anybody have direct experience starting these things in very cold weather?
Lee - I would consider a clean C4 A6 but frankly my love for audis is
slipping a tad due to the all the "scars" on my knuckles!
Also i think a clean W124 can be had for less money....
Cheers mates - Aaron
