I enjoy the cars as a hobby and love fixing them. I've had 9 mercedes so far. I never once bought them and expected to see any money back, and I certainly lost a ton of money on them in parts and the price of the car. But to me it doesn't matter. I have fun. The only car I made back money on was my '98 e300 I sold about 5 months ago. I bought it for $600 that needed paint, rust repair, fuel leaks, glow plugs, suspension work, turbo rebuild and put $1800 into it and sold it for $3500. every other car i lost money on.. what i have in my stable now will probably be "driven until the wheels fall off"
