Just bought something:

It arrives next week, and required selling 3 cars to get it. My 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 5 speed with 12.5k original miles on it, my '83 300D, and my '95 E320.

Any guesses? Keep it mind it can be anything. Anyone I've told already keep it under wraps, please.

I can't possibly guess, but I'm dying to know

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

Does it have a three pointed star?

Does it come with dealer courtesy oil changes?

Lemme guess. A 1979 240D in the junkyard with no motor or transmission and poop on the seats and you just couldnt let it go to waste, so you sold three cars so you could make this one show room condition?

You didn't insert the ad underneath? If you're going to give a shameless plug, at least put the link to the ad underneath.

It may not be a car, it could be anything. I'm not answering questions, but will give more hints.

That is a very old suit, put on as a joke, and a candid photo.

I didn't take offense, laughed out loud actually. I'd go Asian mail order before Russian, anyway.

Are we talking euro import, such as gray market from the 80s? No. Can't imagine how much that would cost. If you're taking any imported diesel, that's way too general.

You guys are stuck on cars. It could be anything.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's a car of some sort. I remember you passing up a few for sale because you were set on something else.

Also, you would probably need to sell a few cars off to make space for another.

AAAnd, this is a car forum, so the odds of it being a car are pretty good! I can't think of anything that would require the money of three car sales to buy ..unless it's a boat or something

Chrysler or GM as a whole?



Don't know if that would fit in your garage though. I think someone got a better deal by taking those cars in exchange for those companies....
