Was it actually a communist car? Trying to sift through info online it looks like it was made by west Germany, which I associate with the western postwar powers, but I really dont know much about any of this

Anyone know if it was a particularly good car?

    The deisel one is well known for being quite reliable and easy to keep running for a very long time. Also known for being very well built.

    They were built like tanks. But they drove like tanks too.

    I lost the gas cap for one. The guy at the parts store laughed at me when I asked for a gas cap for a Mercedes, then he looked through the book said "Oh" and grabbed one from the shelf that had five of them on it. It's the same cap as tractors use.
