Yes I also own a 1999 E300, I think I am going to pass on this as the dealership seems to like to play games. I am also a little apprehensive about purchasing a diesel with a timing belt instead of chain.

Meh, timing belt just needs to be changed once every 100k miles. Not really that big of a deal.

Get used to that tho. The only one that I've seen without a belt in recent memory is the VW Touareg. That has actual GEARS, no belt or chain. I think the manufacturers have gone with belts in an effort to cut the noise levels.

Agreed, I was going to make a similar comment that you will be hard pressed to find a small diesel using a chain these days. Although they need regular maintenace belts are simply superior for this application. Belt technology is also improving and I believe some are even speced to last the lifetime of the engine.
