I beg to differ. I once bought a 300CD for $1 from some wacky MB
diesel addict and drove it over 35,000mi to within .003" of its demise.
I still plan on driving it from Stuart, Fl to Vanleer, Tn (with a
really bad half-shaft), where it will either be used as a local
beater or a parts warehouse.
Then there is "The $100 car" which gave even longer better service
with minimal outlay for parts/repairs. This one is going to be my
daily driver again real soon.
Then there is the 1982 300D that I got as a gift and again, with
very little outlay put over 65,000mi on it before making a long-term
loan to a close friend. He put another 20,000 or so on it before the
driver's seat fell through the floor.
Who else here has a similar experience(s)?
