I was wondering if everyone or anyone could post some figures on annual or total cost of ownership on their 500's. I am still in my ubiquitous search for a 500 that "feels right" (simply, i am an exacting bastard, heh) and just thought it might be interesting to see what the numbers look like for mods, maintenance, and daily driving.
Thanks, |

Did you happen to see the Anthracite '92 500E with 19k miles for $38k in the latest issue of the Star?

JCE: i actually have never ventured into The Star. Is it available at large magazine resellers, or does mbca only ship it out direct?
run.exe: it sounds like you really love your car! I must confess, my annual for my porsche are around that, too... as embarassing as that is for me. Where are you in the bay area? I lived in Los Altos for about 6 years before moving to San Luis Obispo last year. |

I live in San Francisco; however, I may move, soon. I am between jobs and the market is DEAD, at the moment. At any rate, you are correct: I LOVE MY CAR! Please check out the pictures I posted, today, at: http://www.nemonis.net/ Kind regards, |
