A D at the end of the description tells you it's a diesel. With a claim of 28mpg, I'd hazard a guess that he's got a 190D. They define the word slow. The faster things like an older 300SD (turbocharged, bigger car) only get a scosh over 20 mpg.

Beware the transmission! If there's an achilies heel in Mercedes it's the automatic transmissions. It's not that they are remarkably unreliable, it's that they are incredibly expensive to replace or repair. It's the #1 financial killer of older Mercedes. Many an otherwise fine car is in the junkyard because the transmission died and the owner wasn't willing to shell out the money for a new one.
