Good
-Power seats
-Power locks
-Moon roof
-ALDA delete

Bad
-Paint isn't in that great of condition and the worst is on the roof
-Driver seat needs new leather because it is torn up pretty bad

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Never said I want to sell it I just wanna know how much money I can put into it before it becomes pointless. I am gonna have to sell it at some point whether it is before Christmas or toward the end of summer when I go to college. Its gonna happen whether I like it or not!

Don't put anything into it if you're going to sell it (or as little as possible). Otherwise, repair it to your standards & drive it. The decision is only an economical decision if you don't intend to drive it a long time.

The value is what you place on the car, then the value of what it is worth to someone else.

If this MB is just a stepping stone onto other vehicles, then just drive it.

Replacing a water pump, Glow Plugs, Injectors, valve adjustment or what ever, doesn`t cause the value to increase. these are just maintenance items that go along with car owner ship.

Going to college W/O the MB? Blasphemy . then what? the Honda?

Well there probably won`t be much time for a MB with the party time in college



Just kidding, JK.......JK......JK......
