I'll third that. I pretty much rent cars for all trips over 500 miles in distance. If something major lets go on one of these older benzers, you might need to:


1. Mortgage your house to pay the repair bill.
2. Might not be able to find the necessary parts for sale (NLA, no dealer nearby, etc.)
3. The indy you end up with might be a rip-off artist.

Then there is always the fee the tow truck driver charges for long distance tows.......OUCH!!
