I had a 1962 Fleetwood Series 62 that was nearly 20 feet long. A true land yacht if there ever was one. Great car, even got decent mileage (high teens) despite weighing 6,000 pounds wet. -D > On Feb 25, 2021, at 9:50 AM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote: > > What a great parade vehicle! >

I heard NC had it’s act together on administering the vaccine, so much so that people in southern VA were crossing state lines to get it in NC. Since the vaccine is a Federal effort, they can’t deny it to anyone based on their address, so people in southern VA who haven’t been able to get it

And to elaborate, the drive train is, for the most part, pretty solid. They have issues with the chassis nannies relative to BAS/ABS and other such things, and the telematics, specifically the head unit, can be wonky, but they’re not too difficult to work on. If you want a solid cheap AWD

They do, and they’re horribly inefficient as far as fuel consumption, too. On top of that, they’re a truck. Period. They drive and ride like a truck. They are not a “luxury SUV” by any sense of the term. -D > On Feb 24, 2021, at 3:15 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I am

[MBZ] OT - Carvana

I mentioned using Carvana and some other such services recently. I had set up a search in Carvana for trucks of a certain age and mileage. I’ve gotten two hits in the last couple of days - both show “purchase pending” even though I jumped on the message as soon as I got it. Hardly relevant if

I think the MB_Maniac post summed it up pretty succinctly. The only thing they didn’t address was the better ignition system in facelift models. This car is, for the most part, a bit of a beater. I can’t see it being worth more than a couple grand. Someone is going to be disappointed if they
