Effect of gas prices on C32 AMG

Just wondering if you think the gas prices will have an effect on the prices of the C32 AMG? If so, how much of an effect?

It really depends on how much of a lead-foot you are...
I am extremely lead-footed... so I pay more... and visit the gas station on a higher frequency...
IMHO, if you have a C32, M3, Vette, ot whatever high powered car... you will still drive it no matter what the gas prices are...
Once again... IMHO...

3 posts so far and they all deal with gas prices a getting a cheaper C32

If you can't afford the gas, you can't afford the car..

In short, respdoc is correct... I was merely trying to be "PC" about respdoc's point, ha!

The same goes with buying used exotics... You can buy used Testarrosas in the mid $50K range, but you still pay the maintenance of a $200K car... On another note unlike in other cultures, it's the image consicious Americans who tend to spend money on material things which they cannot afford. Earn $1 and spend $2 to impress the masses...

Actually, it's more like spending money on the condom and then not buying the girl. :v

Now, back on topic. The question, which none of you neanderthals (American or otherwise)jk seem to understand, is whether high gas prices will cause the resale value of C32s to drop? Answer: Probably not, as the C32 does not get that bad of gas mileage. On the other hand, I bet that there are a bunch of people driving their H2 as a daily driver who are kicking themselves in the ***** while pulling down 8-10 MPG.
