But you really need to work on these old cars yourself to make owning one worth while. At this point I'd stop all work and get the car out of their ASAP. You are already up to $20k which is insane IMHO. You are 60% of the way to a new C class!

The dealer is raping you!
The thing is, you don't get a penny out of the money put into an older car.

Jason, be careful how you spend your money. It is hard making money, it is easy to spend it, it is even harder to save it.
