My 560 SEL has the chance to accompany me and the misses and my 11 year old on a road trip to New Orleans (from Atlanta) for the holiday.She only sees it as an old car that may strand us on the highway.I've explained that any car can break down whether its new or old because I've surely passed a few new cars stranded on the road but that's another story.

Admittedly,she does have about 230k miles on her but has NEVER given me any trouble on the road.As a matter of fact, she LOVES the road and I don't see paying a few hundred bucks for a little bitty car with no room and uncomfortable ride... I'd like YOU GUYS' advice on whether you think this is a wise thing to do.This is for my fiance's peace of mind and I'd like to show her the results of the "poll" to ease it as much as possible. I'M not worried about her because I know she'll make it with no problem.

Any suggestions are welcome and please...HELP me out on this one! Thanks guys.


By the way- I've just changed the oil about 2 weeks ago and still looks like honey.She starts every time I ask her to, has new Beru wires,plugs are cool but I've got another set that I'm considering installing, I've got a new dist cap that I haven't installed because she is alright but will have it on hand, new cold start valve (that it didn't NEED, along with OVP-ditto) new 205/60/15 yokohamas this past Friday which greatly improved the already smooth ride. I'm contemplating changing my trans fluid and filter but... Whadda ya guys think? ready?...set?...GO!
