Sorry my daughters aren’t rolling a $500 Honda, nope no way no how LOL.

The 240D has survived a year and a half of daughter number one without a scratch, and if it does not survive it was still cheaper than a 100,000 mile Honda. A W123 is considered a super cool classic where we live, I think the right 190D will work just fine. I’m not worried about parts, I have a great old school mechanic that has mountains of parts for the old MBZ’s.

I infected the kids with classic and old school cars from day one, it’s my own fault.
