There is an exception to that rule. If you to plan on a restoration, it pays to purchase a *running car* as cheaply as possible so you can take your time in making the most cost effective improvements at a leisurely pace.. This explains my 18 year enjoyment and simultaneous restoration of a 1970 280SE 3.5 coupe that had lots of issues, but I could at least drive it safely while fixing and restoring things.

My experience as well. How much will you have to pay for any MB with 68k miles accumulated at the standard rate of 12k/yr. (a 2008 model)? It looks like a bargain from that perspective.

Hendrik makes a very valid point, and one that pretty much applies to any used car purchased. That is, spend the money up front for the very best example you can find. You'll be better off than buying a fixer-upper or one that needs work, as it will most likely end up costing you more. BTDT myself. Dan Sent from my iPad > On Aug 19, 2014, at 6:21 PM, "Kaleb C.

Yes I agree. One of the early mantras on this list was nothing as expensive as a cheap mercededes. I'd pay that if I needed a nice driver. If you bring the 68 250s youvll be in the running for earliest benz.
