1985 300D Turbo: bought it in 1996 with 125K miles for $9K. Definitely worth it.
1985 300D Turbo Wagon: bought it in 2000 for $7.5K, traded it in 2001 for E320 Wagon. Not worth it, considering I didn't do my homework on it well enough.
1995 E320 Wagon: bought it in 2001 for $20K. Worth it. Feel like we stole it from the dealer.
1972 280SE 4.5: bought it in 2003 for $8K. Pretty much restored 95%. Worth it just for the wonderful looks people give it/me as we motor along.
1972 280SEL 4.5: bought it in 2001 for $1K planning to restore it. Use it as a parts car now for the other one. Worth it as a parts car only.
1999 Land Rover Discovery Series II: bought it in 2003 for $18K. Definitely not worth it. After owning Mercedes, am thoroughly unsatisfied by this truck's build, fit, finish, reliability and engineering. Great offroad capabilities, though.

So there you have it.
