And as far as the fellow who'd rather have the newer whatever it was, your completly missing the point, go play in the general tech section or somewhere that caters more to newer models. There is no comparison what so ever.
You're wrong there. As much as I recognize the fact that the car is in excellent shape and is a collector's item, I don't believe it has achieved the status to command such a premium price yet. If one searches hard enough, I bet they can still find some of those cars with relatively low mileage. Hey, I just bought a 1984 300SD with 145,xxx miles and it was in mint condition. Even the seats were in excellent shape. Hey, I don't miss the point. I paid $55,000 for very old, rare Jag two years ago. It was in prestine condition and was rarely used. But I sold it recently to get my money back for my business.

I was just saying that instead of spending that kind of money on that car which isn't old enough to be considered a top value collectors' item, I'd rather buy a newer, E-Class diesel. At least I can pick up chicks with the E-Class and not with that old school benz. LOL
