Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / June 2006'05 E320 CDI or '99 E300 TD
choices choices. In canadian $ the former can be had for around $60k while the latter for around $30k with 200k km while the former is around 50k km. Sure would like to save the difference in $'s but is it neccesarily wise in the long term? Comments? cheers, guenter >choices choices.

The price for the 99 is too high ... Go to edmunds.com to get the general idea what that car is worth... I know it is not Canadian but it should be close enough of a range... considering in US the cars tend to be fully loaded. No, the headlight does not move. The foglight on the side you are turning to lights up. > I would buy the CDI... only if it has the HID headlight... those thing are > so cool that when you turn, the headlight turns with you so you can see the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > it is not Canadian but it should be close enough of a range... considering > in US the cars tend to be fully loaded. Really? So you are saying this is like Hella Dynaview system? thanks for the inputs ... I imagine sticker shock for the CDI will wear off fairly quickly .... by the way, is MB's CDI (which I think I understand) related at all to VW's TDI approach? cheers, guenter >I would buy the CDI... only if it has the HID headlight... those thing are >so cool that when you turn, the headlight turns with you so you can see the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >it is not Canadian but it should be close enough of a range... considering >in US the cars tend to be fully loaded. > thanks for the inputs ...

Having looked into it a bit further I tend to agree with you. Hwoever, what does give me some pause is that VW uses a mechanical injection timing system compared to the computer driven one my MB .... and we all have come to appreciate the computer/electrical glitches that show up when the car ages a bit. Both, the latest TDI (PD variant) and the CDI of course otimize injection quantities etc via electronics...\ - cheers, guenter >> thanks for the inputs ...
