DAMN, I forgot your progeny was of that age! Goes by fast. Will be 14yo in a couple of weeks, that gives us a year and change to find/fix car before driving lessons begin. There is a really nice looking w115 by me. Driver door got smacked and is now gathering parking tickets. Not mine, but

Great criteria! Mine were the same, except I didn't demand manual trans. I want him to be able to drive anything. What he _chooses_ for himself, later, will then be up to him. Early days yet, no guarantee that an MB will be the final choice. But it's nice if it hasn't been eliminated already.

#1 (and only) son now allows as to how a 240D 123 (manual) might be a contender as his first car. The Beetle is out because he's taking up the string bass. We already know that they basically don't fit in those, that's why the neighbors got rid of theirs. Anyway, once he hits 14yo this month ca

Excellent choice! Our youngest two learned to drive in the 240D Manual W123 (it was bought new by their great-grandfather). On Thu, Oct 8, 2015 at 8:59 PM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > #1 (and only) son now allows as to how a 240D 123 (manual) > might be a contender a
