I have a 2005 AWD FEH. We've driven it ~40K (total 107K? ish) Routine maintenance, one almost-recall [battery wiring harness, not through NTSB], plus a new rear door from the trucking company that used us for extra braking. Has retained its value more than any other used car I've owned, except

Mine's red, is that what makes it a false sense of being green? The FEH has a trailer hitch [in the garage and on the to do list], the MBs do not. I can also put a washing machine in the FEH, but not in the SDL. It is also worth more than all the MBs I've ever owned, combined, though I think

I can also put a washing machine in the FEH, but not in the SDL. Dunno why not. I brought home a dishwasher in the trunk of the 380SL. All you need is a rope! where you breathe on the throttle and the engine takes right off. I loathe and despise this trait. -- Jim
