@fruitcakesa - Some really good points there; I have some rust on my panzer wagon and although it saddens me a little I don't mind it because I know it's not a collector. =) I remember when I got my license I drove my VW everywhere and then some; I still drive just to drive and I am 99% of the time the designated driver for my less responsible friends. ;')
Would you spend $10k on a used Mercedes diesel in great condition (but not show condition) for a daily driver? Sounds like you wouldn't, that is 5x more than you spent on your daughters daily driver! I am waiting for some people to join the discussion that drive $40-$90k cars as daily drivers. =P @Oldwolf - You are satisfied then with a sub $10k daily driver? Would $10k+ for a daily be worth it to you? Last edited by frankstallone; 10-16-2009 at 09:37 AM. Reason: updating for Oldwolf! |

No offence, but you do not want to put those kind of resources into a driver unless you have a solid mid-6 figure income or significant other resources available. Buy your $1M house before you buy your $90k car.

I paid $400 for my 300d and it has gotten me back and forth to work for the last 7,000 miles. It does have a lot of rust, or maybe I should say cancer, and the transmission leaks about a quart a month. But as long as it moves it is doing its job.

I got my car for nothing. It was my step fathers
![]() I spent about 2000$ on it. Mechanically it needed typical work done since it wasn't driven for ten years. Minimal rust, since the bondo is starting to flake along where it was originally placed. I might dremel that part out and put some POR-15 onto it. I need a major infusion of cash. I love my car and I wouldn't hesitate to enter my car into a classic car show. ![]()
