I'd never touch one unless I had oodles of cash towards keeping it alive. |
Actually my 300SD is costing me a small fortune lately in comparison to my S320. I have about $4100 of work in on my 300SD within the last 6 months. More than I paid for the car itself. Many of these repairs were to keep the car running.
In the same 6 month period the S320 got a new set of brakes and rotors and wheel bearings for $1000 and a set of Continental Tires for $500. Both of which were optional except for the worn out brake pads. The rotors were "close" and I decided to have one less thing to worry about.
