Still the prices of them are very cheap. Its not buying one its the upkeep the buyer must look into. |
Mine has 150k miles, and I spend lots of time shopping the internet for the best price on decent parts. The 140 is a great car, and kudos to those who enjoy them, but buying one now and paying for the upkeep is just foolish. It would be better to lease a new E350 with the money.
