Very true... I know a older lady that bought a brand new 2000 Mercedes S500. She would always come in complaining that she had to take her car back to the dealer, or there was another recall. She would complain that she paid $95K (IN CASH MIND YOU
) for a car that was always in the shop. Ut oh. It was/is a beautiful car. I used to chuckle when I would see her pull in and she would have her 3 large dogs in it and her smaller dog that would ride up on the rear package shelf! This was in 2000, when the car was brand new too!
Dog fur everywhere.
Sadly, she had a stroke a couple of years ago and I have not seen her. I was told she was good physically, but poor mentally and was not able to get out by herself. I have not seen her. She was such a nice lady and I hope she is doing well. Its sad, because she was the type to like to get out and help others. She would buy large bouquets of flowers and start out of the store with them... someone would comment on how nice they were and she would simply hand them over.

In my area I see S500 MBs with low miles selling for mid-teen prices....these cars are only 5 to 7 years old! Unbelievable.
