Old wedge shaped 1.8 turbo and newer 2.0 turbo have recently bought an old merc E280 but running costs are killing me so thinkin of one ofthe above would like to know insurance group performance tuning potential etc.
Thanks
Chris

I like them but dont expect low running costs, especially if you tune it!
