So, I have an entire thread on my girlfriend's 600SL buying and driving experience. $4500 car... she got it because she liked the novelty of it and the looks.
174,000 miles. She needed something just to get to work and back and to the shops, about a 10 minute drive a few times a day.
Before she was leasing a new Audi, but the insurance cost was killing her as she is French and hasn't had a US driver's license for more than 2 years. So she gets rid of the Audi when the lease was up and gets this Mercedes for $4500 and gets the bare minimum liability on it..
She basically had to drive the car for a year and the car would pay for itself versus leasing another Audi.
She has had it more than a year now. Not a single problem has arisen with the car that has keep her from driving it every day. It has problems- boatloads of them- but it still moves under it's own power and is relatively safe, so... she sticks with it.
And it does still have all ~400 horses. The engine is bulletproof.
