I bought a 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL for about $13,000 Canadian. This included my airfare and driving it back to my house roughly 1000kms, a full synthetic oil service, and putting on a set of studded winter tyres and fixing the rock chip i got in my windshield on the way back to my house =(

I may sell my summer tyres and get a set of 19-20" wheels and tyres for the summer... we'll see...

Now... I know you're thinking $13,000 for a 92?! I forgot to say that it only had 56,000KM on when I bought it a few days ago!

The only problem I have experienced is some static noise coming from the stereo speakers when you start up the car, or if it idles for too long. I think it may be interference from the alternator when it is pumping out more juice.

The car has every option possible from the factory from what I can tell... I am very satisfied with my purchase and like it more than the 1998 Cadillac I let go of not long ago.
