              My bro have had Mercedes 280SE AMG built 1977.
              This mofo was as perfect as new!
              Absolutely awesome car! I instantly fell in love with Mercedes after that. There are cars, and there is a Mercedes!

                    Why would you redo a 1982 280SE?

                          I have an Audi, cant go wrong with German tech.! But if you looking for an all wheeler,take a look at the 2004 Infinity's. The have finally incorperated AWD, and I hear its a very advanced system. G35 AWD makes for a sweet winter car.

                            When I was in Germany I've seen Smarts made by Brabus.
                            These little bastards been flying the German autobahns like hell! I mean they were passing me easily, and I was driing like 130 mph. Can you beleive that? These Germans are crazy.

                              I have a SLK 230. Probably will upgrade to a SL 55 as my next car. I know this guy who bought a 1984 SL convertible and totally redid it like guys do the old school Chevys with a tight new paint job and 20 inch rims. It's very unique.

                                translation: you started earning money from the point you bought the SLK

                                no serious
                                i got the SL55 and its a burner
                                you wont regret it for sure

                                  well, the inline 6 cyl engine is pretty much bulletproof. lotsa torque, but mostly maintenance free if you change oil every 3K.

                                  MB trannies are a little clunky in the ones i've owned.

                                  can't talk about the older cars, but i've got a '97 320S which has the same basic engine, and years ago had a '75 280. both big sedans and in both cars the engine purrs like a kitten.

                                  watch out for rust in the older cars.

                                    I bought a 97 SL600 new and it's been in the shop a ton of times sine the warranty ran out.
                                    Two driveshafts $3000 each
                                    oil leak from the valve cover $900
                                    leveling sensor $700
                                    Water pump $1800
                                    front hydraulic shock $1200
                                    hydraulic pump $600
                                    That's what I remember off the top of my head.

                                    If you can't afford to fix it, you can't afford to own it!

                                    Still, I'll buy a SL65 as soon as they're available here.

                                      Hey Quiet, what is wrong with your mercedes? I was thinking of getting my girlfriend a ML430.

                                      My Audi S4 is AWESOME in the snow!

                                            Like what? Had an RX300 then went to an LX470, parents drive the new RX330, had no problems with either of mine or theirs. Traded the LX470 in this week though, wanted a truck again so I went to a Nissan Titan. Shame Nissan and Toyota won't make trucks in their "upper" lines I'd be all over that.
