Good luck... the VW's are probably the best choice out there, but they don't have an excellent reliability reputation.

My god... I think that engine has about had it then. I'm sure a rebuild could fix it, but i would just buy another car before I'd rebuild that behemoth.
Yeah, Reliability would be an issue, cause i would be driving it to and from college.
So, what kind of problems can I expect out of these 5 cylinder Mercedes, and how often can I fix them without prior knowledge (assuming a I have a book on the car)?
