1999 SL500 sold for $20!

MBWorld Editor · 08-05-2011, 06:05 PM

Check out this homepage article about a man getting an SL500 for 20 bucks! This is certainly one of the coolest gestures ever, but does it make you like the Steelers even a little?

I've been a Steelers fan for over 44 yrs so its just a reflection of what kindness we are capable of as humans if we let love rule our actions

Not a fan of the Steelers but DEFINITELY A HUGE fan of HORTON now! Horton, if you happen to read this...I really think it was awesome what you did. It took a huge heart to do something like this. This kind act will be remembered for quite a while.

Ohhhh..almost forgot GO TEXANS! LOL

Once again

Very Awesome!!

jwpreece · 08-06-2011, 01:26 PM

I guarantee that this car means a lot more to this cook now than it does to Horton. Was a great gesture! He is now riding in style

Horton...you da man!

bigben320e · 08-06-2011, 01:44 PM

Now that is awesome. There are still good people out there...

LukasBMW · 08-06-2011, 02:26 PM

A nice gesture...but there is no way a line cook will be able to afford the maintenance on an SL500. ...even an R129 with 55k miles.

Lol its not that serious ge just cant take it to dealer fot maintenance.

MBFLO · 08-07-2011, 10:05 AM

If I can keep my E55 maintained on a dishwasher pay then im sure he has no problem with keeping up the SL500 on his wages .

BTW the nice gesture im almost postive was more of a tax right off or some kind of right off more then anything else . how else you gonna write off 20k for $20

This is kind of like that 50cent video he did with that dwarf lookin kid , everyone who hated 50 was on his 8===D after talkin about how much respect they have for him now , little did they know it was a free promo for 50cent on his new song .. But in effect that little kid is the most popular dwarf in world now and has multiple videos with a bunch a big artists ..This guy with the benz has to report Monday back to flippin burgers

That's a truly wonderful gesture...I hope to be able to that sort of thing for someone else at some point in my life. I think a little goodwill goes a long way in this world and this was a fine example of just that!

If he finds a good independent mechanic or does his own maintenance he'll be fine.

Way to go Ray Horton! Not a Steeler fan either but he is a former Cowboy and I remember him contributing to the '92 Super Bowl season. Good man!
