DAughter buys benz wagon

My lovely daughter #1 sold the Honda minivan and bought an 01 benz e class wagon 4matic. It looks really clean, goldish with parchment or light tan interior. Third seat.

I am applauding.

They reduced their debt and monthly payments by a huge amount as well.

I am glad the grandchildren will be riding in a benz too.

Good move. That is probably as close as it gets to the perfect car nowadays.

I like wagons.


Now your grandkids are riding around in style.


So, when you going to drive it?

Good move Tom. I recently bought a 2000 and am,, so far,, very pleased with the car. Like you, I would love to see the kids all in Benzes. It is my dream to buy them each a Benz when they reach driving age.
