What's the aftermarket parts situation on Japanese cars, Gary? Which model
has the largest "installed base"? Camry? Accord? Civic? ????
One disturbing factor about new and initially less troublesome cars is the
cost of the electronic modules that seem to run everything; engine,
transmission, etc., etc. If cheaper aftermarket modules were available for
when the car gets a few years older, I'd probably buy a new, trouble free
car primarily for the purpose of making out-of-county trips. These old
Mercedes are great locally, but a breakdown on a long trip could get very
expensive with days in a motel.

give it time.
back in the 80s, minis in england and bugs in CA would sell for a couple
of
hundred bucks in usable condition. both are worth real money today
as i mentioned, toyota starlets and even chevettes are worth money today
in a decade or two, the 300CD will be a valuable collectable and your
dying
words will be "i coulda had one for 2 grand and it was nice too!"

But in this line of thought, the MB 300CD was a collectible as well, only
5K made. Yet they are dogs on Craigslist, and for 20K you can have a
stable full.

The Jeepster has quite a cult following due to it's rarity. What other
vehicle could you get for 20 big ones that is as rare and in such nice
shape? There really was less than 9k of them made. This is not the much
more common Jeepster Commando that they made thousands and thousands of.
It is a true collectors piece.
