Dude, Clay, I love Benz's. Seriously,I love them,I own one and even bought a hat. So, keep that in mind as I tell you DO NOT BUY THAT F'CKING CAR! RUN MUFUGGA RUN! The list of TSB's on that car is longer then a whales johnson. Buy three, that way you might be able to drive one while the other two are in the shop.
Get a late 80s Mercedes 560SEL. There's an AMG flavor in there also, but happy hunting on that one. Bimmers might not be bad, but look into the block recalls from their 540's, see if the V12s had the same problems. Jags offered V12s, but I'm not so sure about reliability. They're sexy enough not to care though, especially in the late 60s.
Correct. I'm debating this very thing. Cheap exotic vs an expensive econo. In terms of smarts, it's an easy choice. Too bad I'm not smart.
