Comments?
cheers, guenter
get the new one, after driving a cdi you'll know that the old diesels are obsolete

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 corner.
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.
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
similar but in my opinion MB does it much better than VW

Really? So you are saying this is like Hella Dynaview system?
thanks for that. 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...\
