Do you have a good mechanic?
If not, find one you can trust. Old cars don't need a lot of work besides the usual oil changes.

And they tend to be very simple to work on.
A service at a garage every four to six months is more than enough to keep a car that is in good condition running well.
Its better to buy a car that does not need any work, and has a visible service history, and original features.
Look for good condition interiors, and original wheels. That means its likely been taken care of.
And don't be afraid of high mileage either, especially on diesel Mercedes.

>I also need one relatively quick, like 2 weeks tops. Any pointers where to look?
autoscout24 is a good way to get ideas about prices.
But you should look at clubs that specialize in the particular brand or model that you're after. There are usually good deals in the for sale section. Clubs can also help you find knowledgeable technicians.

A/C is not something you're going to find on all cars.
So your choice will be limited to more luxury makes like BMW, Porsche, Mercedes or Jaguar.
If you want a diesel engine, its pretty much Mercedes only and thats not a bad thing.
