Time to sell my Mercedes...

I haven't been able to enjoy it, and having a family, a 2 seat convertible isn't necessarily a useful vehicle.

Besides that, I need the money off of it...I haven't been approved for Social Security yet, and LTD insurance has cut my income considerably. My wife can't work because she needs to be here to care for me...I still don't have balance when standing, and fall in the house at least once a week. Hopefully we can sell our home for a small profit and locate a single level ranch style home that we can pay cash for...the stairs and I don't agree with each other and she's afraid that I'll fall and won't be able to get back up.

Last week, my daughter's friend lost her dad to a fall down the stairs...and he had perfect health. She came home to find him dead at the bottom of the stairs...he fell, hit his head, and died. I don't want that for my kids...time to change houses.

It's been sitting in a storage locker for almost two years now, only driven twice during that time. The last time I got it out, it was hard starting...I suspect plugs and possible fuel accumulator to be the culprit.

1987 560SL with less than 90K on the clock. She won Mercedes of the Month on a now defunct website in 2010, and was featured in the site's 2011 calendar.

Wish me luck...
