My BIL just bought his wife this '96 600SL; 35K miles, freshly serviced, for $15K.
I told her she'd love it until it needs any sort of attention at all, and to pick up a few For Sale signs, just in case.
It IS pretty, though:

Ranked No. #1 in initial quality
Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.
v12?

"It's faster than my Caravan was..."
I suppose they expect you to work on it for them...?
Do they even have a clue what they've gotten into?
It is a very nice car, but I'm not sure a new one wouldn't be cheaper in the long run....
I'm at the edge of the earth, they're in Arkansas - they'd better have their own guy lined-up.Originally Posted by RealMcCoy
I honestly have no idea what possessed him to do this - as you suggest, he hasn't the first clue what he's gotten into.
They actually are not that bad of cars, just make sure to have a slush fund for stuff that breaks. They major things that I see are oil sludging, water leaking through mirrors, ABS/TCS issues, and any various small issues with the V12 engine itself and the Merc transmission...
Your 1993 Dodge Stealth is one of 6351 that received VIN numbers. Based on the order of the serial numbers, your car was the 5212nd out of the 6351 that were made that year.
Your car was built in the 3rd week of February 1993. Of the 47380 vehicles made at the Nayoga plant, your car was the 40537th vehicle to be created that year.
There are 281 other cars that were made with both the same interior and exterior color. There are 779 cars with the same exterior color and 2316 cars with the same interior color.
Note: The production order is assigned based on the order of the serial number.
=I would have spent 5 grand extra and gotten a 2005 SLK 55 AMG. Or even a 2001 SL 600 (the new style); both can be had for ~20 large. Or R170 SLK 32 AMG's can be had for ~12-15 large.
The way this supposedly happened was they went to this place to view a certain Merc; she didn't like it, turned to point at this car (which was up in the air for fluid service), and said, "Now, if THAT was for sale..."
Well, of course, it WAS for sale, so.
EDIT:
Thadd, they don't know what an AMG is.
Sounds like they should have bought a BMW.
Heh.
