Purchase price is one thing, the cost to run one is another.

WOW - Look at this one...


Think again. See post #3 in the above thread.^^^^^

Jim, this is a continuation of my other thread. I'm not looking for a show car or driver, I'm looking for a den and something to be buried in

Find some unobtanium rubber suspension boots for the rear, clay bar it, polish it up, don't cut your hair for 3 months, put on your round spectacles and you'll be John Lennon in no time flat for the price of a E350 4-Matic.

Love the 600 LWB. It looks like a limo. Limos, for me at least, have to have a square boxy front.

Looks like a car that has seen some use judging from the condition of the upholstory. Is it just me or is the rear suspension sagging a bit?

Needs to TLC but damn those are nice. Nothing screams class like a 600.

I noticed the same thing, it looks really low. Based on Jim's linked post, is that gonna be $30K?

That's just terrifying.

Seat switch's cost $1,500. Nothing is cheap on those things.

If I want an M100, I'll stick with the 240D version, the "6.9".

If cost were no object, I'd have a 6.9 as my daily driver, and a 600 as the vehicle to be chauffeured about in.

Actually, I really DO want a 6.9. I just love the sound of that engine! If only gas were back to a buck a gallon.
