Mercedes Sprinter?
Now that would be an achievement.S210 e320 cdi
I'm less impressed with the 147,000 mileage now I know what it is, it's only just a baby, the body will rust away on that before the mechanical bits die ;-)

It was the "she's still delivering...." that threw me off.

It's there but you've got to look for it.

For all the people being deliberately awkward about it being a diesel...
Last time I checked, the site was called "Pistonheads", not "Petrolheads".
It was going to be petrolheads IIRC but there were copy-write issues and thus it became Pistonheads.Last time I checked, the site was called "Pistonheads", not "Petrolheads".
Regardless, a diesel can be a superb thing

Was I the only one who saw 'She's still got it' along with '3.2 litre straight 6' and a picture of a speedo loading up, expecting to see an M3 speedo wound round to 155mph only to be vastly disappointed to find I'd missed the word diesel, and it was in fact a Merc needle at precisely the opposite end of the clock?

Diesel cars are more efficient but they are more expensive to buy in the first place, they not as reliable, diesel is more expensive than Petrol...and when you lift that bonnet they ALL sound like a bag of s

Cool. So don't buy one - and ignore any diesel threads on PH.Diesel cars are more efficient but they are more expensive to buy in the first place, they not as reliable, diesel is more expensive than Petrol...and when you lift that bonnet they ALL sound like a bag of s

My E46 320d was achieving its book figure (*47mpg combined) at 150,000 miles without any kind of special, or clever, driving. It would regularly do nearer 60mpg on a longish drive.
I just found the car to be soulless and no fun so had to go back to petrol.

Shamefull,truly WTF has happened to the world.
I know, but 40k per annum in a 4.0 v8 is not really affordable. In all fairness Ive nothing against diesels especially 6 cylinder ones,they have their place in the world and you get points back for it being an estate and JRG.
However, starting a thread boasting of your cars supreme diesel fuel economy is like pulling a minger then filming it for posterity!
