I have the original sales invoice for mine too and it exceeded $100K. I would in normal circumstances keep this since soo much as been replaced. But I found this mint Audi A4 Cabriolet that is 8 yrs younger with 40K less miles and I thought with the price of gas, it might cost less in the long run to operate. If I sell the MBZ, I'm OK but if it doesn't sell, I'll have to part with the Audi. My wife said one or the other but not both. On the Benz, if I hadn't found a donor '97 SL several years ago, I could not have been able to replace as many parts and resold what I didn't use to more than break-even. My labor was the least cost element of ownership. Anyway, we'll see where this takes me.
