Was it a W202? My dad had one as well, also the C250 Turbodiesel variant. The non-turbo variants are hugely popular as taxi's in some African countries due to their reliability and durability, as well as their frugality. They are dog slow, though, but that matters not when you are aiming for good economy.The other car my dad owned after the Elantra was a c250 turbodiesel merc. Another 400k km on that car before he sold it. Sadly his eyesight went and the car was just standing or else it would have been driven more. That car did alot of long distance though.
